India Post issued four stamps on 19 November 1987 as Indian Trees, at 60 paise, ₹1.50, ₹5 and ₹6.50. The pipal, Ficus religiosa, is an Indian fig tree, often growing on other trees when young and gradually strangling them with its roots. Its leaves are heart-shaped and taper to a long tail. It grows wild on the lower slopes of the Himalayas, and is venerated by Hindus and Buddhists.
