In Buddhism[edit]
Clusters of gular figs on a tree trunk in India
Main article: Udumbara (Buddhism)
Both the tree and the flower are referred to as the udumbara (Sanskrit, Pali; De
vanagari: ???????) in Buddhism.[5] Udumbara can also refer to the blue lotus (Ni
la udumbara) flower. The udumbara flower appears in chapters 2 and 27 of the Lot
us Sutra, an important Mahayana Buddhist text. The Japanese word udonge (???) wa
s used by Dogen Zenji to refer to the flower of the udumbara tree in chapter 68
of the Shobogenzo ("Treasury of the Eye of the True Dharma"). Dogen places the c
ontext of the udonge flower in the Flower Sermon given by Gautama Buddha on Vult
ure Peak. Udonge is also used to refer to the eggs of the lacewing insect. The e
ggs are laid in a pattern similar to a flower, and its shape is used for divinat
ion in Asian fortune telling.[6]
In Theravada Buddhism, the plant is said to have used as the tree for achieved e
nlightenment, or Bodhi by twenty sixth Lord Buddha called "Konaagama - ??????".
Uses[edit]
Pickled and halved gular figs

In ancient times both Hindu and Buddhist ascetics on their way to Taxila, (Origi
nal name is Taksha Sila) travelling through vast areas of Indian forests used to
consume the fruit during their travels. One challenge to vegetarians were the m
any fig wasps that one finds when opening a gular fig. One way to get rid of the
m was to break the figs into halves or quarters, discard most of the seeds and t
hen place the figs into the midday sun for an hour. Gular fruit are almost never
sold commercially because of this problem[citation needed].
The Ovambo people call the fruit of the Cluster Fig eenghwiyu and use it to dist
ill Ombike, their traditional liquor.[7]
