How does the worship of the Pipal tree reflect their religious beliefs?

The Pipal tree was regarded as the abode of Gods. In a particular seal, Mother Goddess has been shown standing in the bifurcated branches of a pipal tree and a worshipper is depicted bringing a goat in front of the deity, perhaps for offering a sacrifice to the Goddess. The tree was likely seen as a symbol of fertility, immortality, and divinity.
