What is a "banyan (tree)"?
A banyan tree is a large and spreading tree native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The tree is known for its aerial prop roots that grow down from its branches and anchor the tree to the ground. Banyan trees are considered sacred in many cultures and are often used as a place of worship or a symbol of longevity and fertility. The tree can grow to be very large, with some reaching over 100 feet tall and spreading over several acres. It is also known for its large canopy, which provides shade and shelter for many animals and birds.

What is a "banyan"?
A banyan is a type of loose-fitting shirt or coat that was worn by men in the 17th and 18th centuries. It originated in India and was made of lightweight fabric, typically cotton or silk, and featured long, flowing sleeves and a buttonless front. The banyan was often worn as a casual or informal garment, and it became popular in Europe among aristocratic men as a comfortable alternative to the more formal clothing of the time. Over time, the banyan evolved into a more structured garment, with collars and buttons, and eventually gave rise to the modern dressing gown. Today, the term "banyan" is rarely used to refer to a specific type of garment and is more commonly used to describe a tree species.
