Story of the Beal Tree:

The Beal tree, also known as Aegle marmelos, holds a revered place in Indian religions, particularly Hinduism. It is commonly known as ‘Bael’ in India and is associated with Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities of Hinduism ¹ ². The tree’s trifoliate leaves, known as ‘Bel patra,’ are symbolic of the three eyes of Lord Shiva and represent the holy trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh (Shiva)². These leaves are an indispensable part of worship and rituals dedicated to Lord Shiva, and offerings of Bel patra are believed to bring the devotee closer to the deity ² ³.

In addition to its religious significance, the Beal tree is also known for its medicinal properties. It is used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments and is considered a natural antibiotic and antifungal agent ². The fruit of the tree, often referred to as ‘wood apple,’ is used to make a refreshing drink called ‘Bel sherbet,’ which is not only delicious but also has high medicinal value ².

Overall, the Beal tree is deeply intertwined with the spiritual and cultural fabric of India, symbolizing purity, divinity, and the essence of life itself ⁴ ⁵.
