KALP VRIKSH The unique ‘Kalp-vriksh’ erecting on the bank of Yamuna is the source of inspiration for people of the district Hamirpur. By tradition, town Hamirpur is said to be ‘Pravesh Dwar’ of Bundelkhand. The people of the district have distinction of patriotic culture among the entire Bundelkhand region. The age of the tree is unknown but may be conjectured hundred of years old. The scenic beauty of the ‘kalp-vriksh’ is magnificient and inspires an individual to grow and to be prosperous to touch the heights of the sky like a pillar. The nearby surrounding area of the tree is plain and un-inhabited. The tree contains numerous big branches looking like a tomb in shape. It is a property of forest department of the State government.
