  3. Peepli !

    there are about 1000-1500 peeplis in India(mostly north india)

    maharashtra has hundreds of Vadgaons


    people name there villages on the basis of which tree is present in most numbers

    so a village with many Pipal trees is Peepli and with many Vad (banyan) trees is Vadgaon !!
