Banyan Tree Temple In Bintan, Indonesia

The temple is stated to be extra than a one hundred years antique and is wrapped round via the Banyan tree. It is very thrilling to be aware how the tree grew all through the years presenting structure and making area for the little temple interior.


Our properly-knowledgeable motive force who functioned as our tour guide as properly instructed me the tale at the back of the temple.

The region was once the residence of the village captain circa 1880’s. He changed into an old Chinese guy. When he died the Banyan tree grew round his house till it slowly took over the entire constructing shape. What’s superb with this phenomenon is that the tree controlled to make area for the house, making it seem like it is a part of it’s natural layout.

Like many superstitious communities, locals have been awed and commenced turning the residence as a place of worship. Prayers were spoke back formally making the area as a sacred temple to revere Buddha. The locals named it the Banyan Tree Temple.
