O you shaggy-headed banyan tree standing on the bank of the pond,
have you forgotten the little child, like the birds that have
nested in your branches and left you?
Do you not remember how he sat at the window and wondered at
the tangle of your roots and plunged underground?
The women would come to fill their jars in the pond, and your
huge black shadow would wriggle on the water like sleep struggling
to wake up.
- Rabindranath Tagore
The majesty of the Banyan tree depicted through this brass sculpture brings back memories of our childhood plays. The Banyan tree, known to be the Budha Raja or the Old King stays witness to so many generations growing under its shade. This metal tree with healthy branches, hanging roots and perching birds also have leaves coiled around its body like creepers. The brass body and leaves shining like precious metal signify the affluent status of the tree. Lotus flowers originating from the roots symbolise the rise of wisdom. This opus is all auspicious symbolism put in one place and a testament to the immortal existence of a Banyan tree.
