The Bodhi Tree was a large and very old Sacred Fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodhi Gaya under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher later known as Gautama Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment, or Bodhi. In religious iconography, the Bodhi tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed.
