摘要

While many plants and trees in specific areas acquire cult significance, very few such as Ficus religiosa L. have acquired a universal status. This hemiepiphyte, Ficus religiosa L., is of dual interest since it venerated by a quarter of the present mankind (Hindus and Buddhists, largely Asian) on one hand and also since these plants are blamed for destruction of buildings due to their ability to grow on buildings. Divergence in views exists whether epiphytic plants exert a destructive influence on buildings. A focused survey of the coastal forts on land and sea has shown uniformly that the naturally growing plants of certain Ficus sp., notably Ficus religiosa L., grow exclusively on the vertical sheer side of rock faces and not either on the ground or on the top surface of these 8-10 centuries old rock structures; also seen on the side of rock piles as recent as 4-5 years as well as in sacred groves of several centuries to millennia old. We could trace the roots through these structures from beginning to the end in many parts of these forts, especially when there are overhanging structures at entrances. The root tips, the point of growth, would be far too insignificant to account for destruction in any of these large rock-and-lime masonry structures while vibration per se was insignificant as the tree was seen in all forts on land or sea. The association with religion of the distinctive Ficus religiosa itself appears to be self-evident from its socio-anthropological association with rock piles, hitherto not visualized for any flora and logically appears to pre-date both Hinduism and Buddhism.
