Among trees, the Aswatha is the most important. In most of the places, a murthy of God is consecrated below the tree.
In Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the family which plants the tree, does sacred thread ceremony to the tree and then conducts its marriage with the neem tree.
Most of the serpent Temples in Kerala and Ganesa temples in Tamil Nadu are constructed below this tree. Women who are not able to beget children are asked to go round the tree daily.
The great shade of the tree is used as the meeting place of senior citizens in every village.

My salutations to the king of trees.
Whose root is the form of Brahma,
Middle is the form of Lord Vishnu,
And top is the form of Lord Shiva.
Hence this Aswatha (arasa maram) tree is worshipped because of Brahmma, vishnu and shiva are residing in the tree as narrated above.

Great sages go in search of Aswatha,
As it is the soul of Rig, Yajur and sama Vedas
And takes all forms, greater than the greatest,
And is the root of all the three Vedas.

If this prayer is repeated one hundred thousand times,even those cursed by Brahma or the teacher, those who are poor and diseased,
Would get cured of all ills and lead a pleasant life.
