In our Indian culture, trees and plants are not only considered to be oxygen-giving means, but they are also considered very important in terms of religious, spiritual and Vastu Shastra. Tulsi plant is worshiped in almost every house, but very few people know that Prosopis Cineraria is equally sacred and beneficial.
The mention of Shami tree is also found in Mahabharata and Ramayana. It is said that the Pandavas hid their divine bow in Shami tree and got back from under the same tree after unknown. This is why it is also considered a symbol of victory.
The tradition of giving Shami leaves to each other in the form of gold on the day of Dussehra is also for this reason. It is considered a symbol of auspiciousness, prosperity and victory.
