The Karo Batak distinguish five beraspati. These are Beraspati Taneh (deity of the earth), Beraspati Lau (deity of the water), Beraspati Kerangan (deity of the forest), Beraspati Kabang (deity of those that fly), and Beraspati Rumah (deity of the house). Although there is a similarity between this term beraspati and the banaspati of Java and Bali, the latter refers to a forest spirit that later gained an evil reputation. In India, Vanaspati is the "Lord of the Forest," referring to a large tree. This same idea is found in Bali, where a shrine to him is located underneath a very large banyan tree (Ficus benjamina) located on the outer square of a temple. [Goes, Beatriz van der 1997]
