Peepal, Bargad and Pakad plants have collectively been described as Harishankari. They provide dense shade, shelter and food to a variety of birds and animals besides other living being. Loaded with medicinal properties, they also emanate health, energy, holiness and spiritual feelings to human beings. Their plantation is also useful in environmental and biodiversity conservation efforts.
