I found these things very fascinating out at Nepal, most of the trees that grow around roadside small mandirs have their roots covering the entire construction. The first look at the natural splendor gave me an image of the famed Angkor Wat. This was a wonderful find for me and I really enjoyed it. It is more than unexpected how mother nature plays with her creation. On most occasions, these trees are banyan or peepal and their long roots resemble more of a serpent hovering over its prey.
