The “Kalpviksha” is a holy wish tree situated at Bilara City. This tree is also known as “Devtaru” and “Kalpataru”. According to legends, it was brought from heaven by Asur King Raja Bali before thousands of years. From that time, this holy tree is located in same position. It is said that the tree fulfills our wishes. Here, at Kalpvriksha Teerth, the main temple is of God Shiva. This tree is a wonder itself. Its stem is 9 – 10 feet wide and it has 5 leaves on its each stalk. It looks full of green leaves only once in a year, that is for month of Saawan (July-August). In the remaining 11 months, it becomes leafless. Another wonder about this tree is that you will find naturally embossed shapes of different deities on its stem and branches. On Mondays of the month of Saawan (July-August), special worship is organized here.
