The Tree of Enlightment also called as Bodhi Tree under which the Lord Buddha attained Englightment (Bodhi) at Bodh Gaya in Bihar State of India.
For more than a month, Siddartha meditated beneath a fig tree in Bodh Gaya, India. After 49 days, he stood from his meditative position. He thanked the tree for its shade and found enlightenment. It was then that he became the Buddha, or the enlightened one. The fig tree that sheltered The Buddha took on great significance as the Buddhist religion developed. Just as Siddartha became the Buddha, the tree became the Bodhi tree, or tree of enlightenment.
