Many people from Nepal and neighbouring India have flocked in their masses to a dense forest in southeastern Nepal to see 15-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon who sits crossed legged under a "pipal" tree. Pipal trees have heart-shaped leaves and is considered holy by both Hindus and Buddhist. This is because it is believed that the Buddha attained enlightment under a pipal tree. For Hindus the banyan tree is the embodiment of Lamski, the goddess of fortune and consort of Lord Vishnu, whereas the pipal is seen as the embodiment of Lord Narayan (Vishnu).
