Description of the place where Mahadev Bhagwan Shiv Shankar resides with Maa Shakti, he is always busy with hisTapasya, chanting the holy name of Bhagwan Sri Ram & dictating the Bhagwat Katha to Rishis, Maharshis & Brahmarishis sitting under the Vata Vriksh.

Sri Krishna says: - Of all trees I am the banyan tree...........(Bhagwad Gita - 10.26)

Sri Krishna teaches us something from this divine tree - There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down, and the Vedic hymns are its leaves. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas." (Bhagwad Gita - 15.1)

Vat Vriksh is worshipped in Sanatan Dharma – The Holy tree describes about the material world which is compared to a tree whose roots are upwards & branches are below. If someone stands on near a reservoir of water or a river, pond etc he/she can observe that the tree reflected in the water is upside down. The branches go downwards & the roots upward. Similarly this material world is a mere reflection of Spiritual sky. This material world looks beautiful only because it is the shadow reflection of the spiritual sky & in shadow there is no reality or substantiality, but from the shadow we can understand that there is substance & reality.
