  • Shukratal is a place of great religious and historical importance. According to mythology, about 5000 years ago, Sage Shukdev, had recited the Shrimadbhagwat Katha for seven days to King Partikshit, the grandson of Arjun. The banyan tree under which the sage recited this is known as the Akshayavat which means the Undying Tree. The uniqueness of this tree as it's name suggests is that it does not shed leaves.
