The Bodhi tree is another name for the peepal tree. Gautam Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment beneath this tree. The three primary Hindu deities, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, are represented by this tree. Shiva is represented by the leaves, Vishnu by the trunk, and Brahma by the roots. As a result, in the scriptures, it symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The Skanda Purana claims that Lord Vishnu lives beneath this tree.
