Tree worship is an integral part of Hinduism, which believes the Universal Spirit or omnipresent deity lives in everything.
Trees are important in agrarian societies like India.

The veneration of the amla tree in particular is due to the belief that the deity Vishnu lives in and near the tree, particularly on Amalaka Ekadashi.
In some traditions, his wife Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, is said to dwell in the tree.
It is believed that Vishnu's avatar Krishna and his consort Radha reside near the tree.

Another reason for the worship are its supposed medicinal qualities used in Ayurvedic medicinal preparations, primarily due to its rich content of vitamin C in fresh fruit.
