Bangalore, India

THE BIG BANYAN

We made a day trip to one of the largest banyan trees in India.  It is located outside of Bangalore, and covers about 3 acres!  Banyan's send out aerial roots that look like new trees, but amazingly they are all connected and create their own fantastic forest.

   
   Don't ask why there is a penguin trashcan near the tree. We couldn't figure it out either!





   Banyan trees are considered sacred in India, and often decorated with ribbons or offerings.
