Bihar’s 700-Year-Old Munger Banyan Identified as the Oldest Scientifically Dated Banyan Tree

Scientists have confirmed that a banyan tree in Munger, Bihar, is around 700 years old.
It is now recognized as the oldest scientifically dated Banyan Tree (Ficus benghalensis).
The discovery was announced by the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
Researchers from the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP) conducted the study.
Banyan trees cannot be dated using annual growth rings, making age determination challenging.
Scientists used Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Radiocarbon Dating.
The dating was performed on alpha-cellulose extracted from wood samples.
The results were calibrated using the IntCal20 calibration curve and OxCal software.
The findings revealed that the tree is much older than the nearby Burra Bunglow.
The study suggests the tree belonged to an ancient natural forest, rather than being planted during the Mughal or British period.
The research establishes a scientifically validated protocol for accurately dating Banyan trees.

Key Fact: The 700-year-old Banyan Tree in Munger (Bihar) became the oldest scientifically dated Banyan Tree, using AMS Radiocarbon Dating by BSIP.
