We are really distantly related, and to give you a proof of that just wait lol.
Iran was once a very huge empire of Zoroatrians, people who worship fire, known as Paras (Persia), plaques you showed us are of those times. Banyan is a magical tree, in old times these trees served as a habitat for Djinns or ghosts, they also grow their roots on branches hanging downwards.
Well, your imagination is so powerful, it relieves a lot of tension. haha
