Dodda Alada Mara-Bangalore Rural District



The Doda Alada Mara (also spelled Dodda Alada Mara), literally translated to Big Banyan Tree, is a giant Banyan tree located in the village of Ramohalli, near kengeri approximately 60 kilometers west of the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. This single plant covers 3 acres (12,000 m2) and is one of the largest of its kind. It is said to be at least 400 years old.

A few years back, the main root of the tree succumbed to natural disease, and thus the tree looks like many different trees now.
