One of the largest trees of India.
Kabirvad is a banyan tree located on a small river island in Narmada river. It is Bharuch district, Gujarat, India. The tree and place is associated with 15th century mystic-poet Kabir. There is a temple dedicated to Kabir. It is believed that the banyan tree was sprouted from Datoon (twig used as a toothbrush). The place is religious site as well as popular tourist spot.

Nearchus, an admiral of Alexander the Great, described a large specimen on the banks of the Narmada River, possibly Kabirvad. The tree’s canopy was so extensive it sheltered 7000 men. It was later described by James Forbes (1749–1819) in his Oriental Memoirs (1813–1815) as nearly 610 m in circumference with over 3000 trunks. Currently the area of its canopy is 17,520 m2 (4.33 acres) with a perimeter of 641 m.

From Bharuch to Jhanor via Shuklatirth, there is a place known as Kabirmadhi. From here a boat ride brings people to the river island.
