This tree produces a female body shaped fruit with their heads attached to the tree stalks.
Dream - Throngs of Thai citizens with videos showing trees with really strange fruits resembling female anatomy!
Although many who admire the unique shape of the fruit, but not a few who doubt the authenticity of the video recording.
In Buddhist mythology, the strange fruit tree is called Nariphon. This tree produces a female body shaped fruit with their heads attached to the tree stalks.
This tree is said to grow in a mythical forest called Himaphan. Based on the story, Nariphon was created to deceive the evil ascetic who tried to disturb the Buddha family.
Buddhist mythology tells the god Indra created a pavilion inhabited by a Buddhist relative and his family in Himaphan. When the Buddha's relative's wife picks fruit in the forest, she is harassed by the evil ascetics.
Seeing this, Indra created 12 Nariphon trees that bear fruit that resembles the body of the Buddha's relative's wife.
The deceived recluse then takes the fruit and loves it. As a result, they fell asleep for four months and lost supernatural powers.
According to Thai people's folklore, after the Buddha's relatives and his wife died, the Nariphon tree continues to produce strange fruit until now.
Currently, the Nariphon tree can be found in Luang Pho Jarun, Wat Ampawan at the Singburi Buddhist Temple near Bangkok.
Until now no one has confirmed whether the fruit in the video is similar to the female body shape is real or just a mere trick. According to you?
