Dodda Aladha Mara

South India, India

The Dodda Aladha Mara or Doda Aladha Mara, literally translated to Big Banyan Tree, is a giant 400-year-old Banyan tree located in the village of Kethohalli in the Bangalore Urban district of Karnataka, India. This single plant covers 3acre and is one of the largest of its kind. In the 2000s, the main root of the tree succumbed to natural disease, and thus the tree now looks like many different trees.
