Answers
Answer:
The legendary peepal tree at Mahabodhi temple, Bodh Gaya, under which Siddhartha, the prince, is believed to have attained enlightenment to become Buddha, has got a ‘natural’ relief during the lockdown period.
Without any spraying of nutrients in past nine months, the condition of tree is quite healthy and it is abundant with leaves.
Normally, under the supervision of the Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun, with which Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee (BTMC) has an agreement for taking care of the tree, nutrients are sprinkled once or twice a year on the tree, said a temple official.
“The tree is quite healthy and its branches have plenty of leaves. In past nine months no nutrient has been sprinkled on the tree,” said Chalinda Bhante, chief monk at Mahabodhi temple.
Scientists at the FRI said the tree has got an advantage due to less or no footfall during the lockdown period. Besides, less or no light was used in the temple premises during the period because of which the tree gained natural advantage, they said.
