borne in lateral panicles of about 10 flowers, arising from the leaf axils. It has a woody-
skinned, smooth fruit 5-15 cm in diameter. The skin of some forms of the fruit is so hard it
must be cracked open with a hammer. It has numerous seeds, which are densely covered
with fibrous hairs and are embedded in a thick, gluey, aromatic pulp. The fruit is eaten fresh
or dried. The juice is strained and sweetened to make a drink similar to lemonade, and is
also used in making Sharbat. is a sacred tree, dedicated to Lord Shiva. The offering of bael
leaves is a compulsory ritual of the worship of Lord Shiva in the hills. This importance seems
