Hindu Gods sculptures under Ficus religiosa or sacred fig

Ficus religiosa or sacred fig is a species of fig native to the Indian subcontinent. The sacred fig is considered to have a religious significance in three major religions Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Therefore people in this small village in Theni District, Tamil Nadu, bring their old pictures and sculptures of their Gods to this sacred fig tree instead of disposing them.
