Stop At: The Huddleston Gardens of Theosophical Society, Adyar, Chennai (Madras) India
The Huddleston Gardens of Theosophical Society is one of the most important heritage landmarks of Chennai and is most famous for housing a 450-year-old banyan tree locally known as the Adyar aala maram. Sadly, the tree fell over in 1996. Spread over 160 hectares, this huge park is home to various species of birds and animals and, over the years, has emerged an ‘eco-spot’ for flora and fauna.
