Question

Q! Read the passage given below and answer any 10 the questions that follows:
Sacred trees form an important part of the ecological heritage of India. Most temples,
towns, villages and sometimes even Muslim dargahs-are associated with trees. Some
plants are sacred to the individual deity: others are sacred to the place. Several plants have
been worshipped in India from time immemorial. Wherever the tulsi grows -- from the
Indo-Gangetic plains to the shores of the Indian Ocean at Kanyakumari-it occupies a
position of pride in the central courtyard of the house, tended to carefully, by the
housewife
Apart from the elaborate myths connecting it to Krishna, the tulsi plant has several
medicinal properties. To protect and revere this plant with so many medicinal properties, it
was designated as sacred, a fitting tribute to its role in providing invaluable healthcare
The worship of plants is an ancient phenomenon in India. It is probably the oldest form of
worship. The association of a single tree with a sacred sthala or sthana is reflected in the
chaitya vriksha and sthala vriksha or literature and society.
When people turned to food production, the Mother Goddess or the Earth Mother became
the chief deity. Fertility, creation and the world of plants and animals became her
blessings to her devotees. The worship of the tree was the adoration of her creative
abilities, symbolising fertility so essential or the survival of the early people. Spirits-good
or bad-were believed to reside in trees. If the trees were worshipped, then the resident
spirits were pleased. As sacred forests were replaced by agriculture, a single tree was left
and was designated as "sacred tree"
The earliest temples were little more than images placed under trees. Later, the tree and
the image were enclosed by a fence made of wood, followed even by stone. Numerous
references are made in literature to trees as abodes of gods.​
