Bael tree is known as ‘Bilva’ in Sanskrit. It is an ancient Ayurvedic tree with spiritual and medicinal importance. It is extensively described in Indian literature, since the Vedic period. Bael is believed to be a sacred plant which brings wellness and good luck to the home. Placing a bael plant in leaving room near a window, brings prosperity and stability. Planting these trees around the home or temple is sanctifying and is equivalent to worshipping a Linga with bilva leaves and water. The trifoliate leaf or tripatra of the bael tree is believed to symbolize the three functions of the Lord-the creation, preservation and destruction as well as his three eyes.
