Pattern on tree branch draws devouts to shrine
The fallen branch of a banyan tree, which is believed to have an Arabic inscription, is attracting large crowds in a village in Nadia district. The devotees, who are flocking to the madrasa in Nagadi village where it has been kept for public view, believe that it is a sacred branch with miraculous powers. Nagadi is a small village under Bikrampur panchayat in the Nakashipara police station area with a mixed population. There is a mazar (shrine) of a sufi saint under the tree.
