Parijaat Tree Village Kintur, about 38 Kms. east of district headquarters Barabanki was named after Kunti, mother of the Pandav. There are a number ancient temples and their remains around this place. Nearby a temple established by Kunti, is a special tree called Parijaat. There are a number of sayings about this tree, which have popular acceptance. One being, Arjun brought this tree from heavens and Kunti used to offer and crown Shivji with its flowers. The other saying being, that Lord Krishna brought this tree for his beloved queen Satyabhama. Historically, though these saying may have some bearing or not, but it is true that this tree is from a very ancient background. The following is said in the Harivansh Puraan about Parijaat. Parijaat is a type of Kalpvraksh, it is said to be found only in the heavens and, whosoever makes a wish under this tree, gets fulfilled. In the Religious and ancient literature, we find a number of references to the Kalpvraksh, but no description whatsoever of its existence can be found anywhere in the world, except for only Kintur (Barabanki ). Whereby this unique Parijaat tree of Kintur holds a special place in the world. In botanical terms, PARIJAAT is known as Adansonia digitata and has been kept in a special category, because it does not produce either its fruit or its seeds, neither can its branch cuttings can be planted to reproduce a second Parijaat tree. This is a unisex male tree, the botanist say, that there is no such tree anywhere else to be found. The leaves of this tree in the lower portion has five tips like the fingers of a hand, while at the upper reaches it has seven. Its flower is very beautiful and white in colour, on drying out it takes on golden tinge. This flower has five petals. This tree blossoms very occasionally, with very few flower, but when it does, that is after the ‘Ganga Dashehra’, spreads its fragrance far and wide. The age of this tree is said to be 1000 to 5000 years. The perimeter of the trunk of this tree is around 50 feet and height of around 45 feet. There is another popular saying that, its branches do not break or dryout but shrink and disappear into the original trunk. The nearby people consider it to be their protector and obliging, henceforth they protect its leaves and flowers at all costs. Local people hold it in high esteem, in addition to the large number of tourists who visit to see this unique tree.

It is a divine place to see and experience the nature. Situated in ramnagar, barabanki, 73 kms away from lucknow city. Many people come here to see such amazing wonder of nature. It is a rare tree in the most unexpected of places. This tree remains dry and without leaves for 6 whole months and lush green for rest of the six months. There is a huge importance of its leaves, barks, flowers and fruits. People come here to visit, and, see this amazing place. There is a temple located nearby. Parijat tree is known as baobab in modern science which is originated in Sub-sahara Africa & hence its presence in fertile land of India makes it very rare. Also the age of the tree is still not determined, which makes it quite possible that the tree may have been planted by someone who used to travel between India and Africa. The tree needs international attention of scientists to find out more about it. Humbled to see the majestic tree, garnled and ancient. It is said to be a living witness of the Mahabharata war 6000 years ago. The tree was emerged from samudra manthan and taken by Lord Indra to heaven. It was brought back by Arjun on advice of Lord Krishna for his mother Kunti to be able to present its flowers to Lord Shiva, to win the war. A calm serene place with a small temple. One can no longer touch the tree, as an effort to preserve it. All efforts to generate another such tree have not fructified..as this tree does not have a seed or a fruit. It is one of its kind, I presume in the world. We were told that it flowers once a year around July and its a sight to see.
