Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Sacred trees form an important part of the ecological heritage of India. Most temples, towns, and
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 ((Ai 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 sthata or sthana is reflected in the chaitya vriksha and sthata vriksha of 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 for
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 the
literature to trees as abodes of gods.
