Bael is one of the most important indigenous fruit trees of India. It had been known to Indians since prehistoric time and is sacred in Hinduism. This deciduous tree with trifoliate aromatic leaves (bilwa patra) is traditionally used in religious rituals and is a sacred offering to Lord Shiva, who is said to favour the leaves. Its fruits are also used in religious rituals in place of green coconuts. It is commonly planted in temple gardens and is a common sight across Salt Lake.
