| Big Banyan Tree, Bangalore - July 2020 |
Last weekend, we decided to take a break from monotony and went out for a long drive. We enjoy such drives now as this is the closest it comes to traveling during these times. We usually drive up to some place in the outskirts of the city, get out of the car only when there are no or very few people around and get some takeaway pizza or cheesecake on our way back. Tiny moments of bliss, I tell you.
This is the Big Banyan Tree also called Dodda Aaladha Mara in Kannada. It is around 40 kms from where we stay and the drive was so peaceful as the weather was near perfect. This is a 400 year old tree, a single tree that covers over 3 acres of its land. I only managed to capture a tiny portion of it, but look how majestic she is? She could only be a queen and nothing else.
I will do what queens do, I will rule.
