A Mysterious Tree In India

Anyone been to Andra Pradesh to see this tree for real?

At a glance you may be confused the above tree with a massive trunk with a 'Baobab' tree (which is renowned to possess the largest tree trunks of the world) but, this is yet another unknown specie which is seen in the close proximity of a hermitage deep in the dense forest in 'Andra Pradesh' in India.

Now have a close look at the bark and experience the unbelievable figures of creatures engraved in the surface of the entire tree trunk!!

Absolutely real!!!

  1. It sure looks a lot like baobab...I read somewhere that baobab wood is amenable to carving...poor people are known to carve out dwellings from live trees...the carvings in this case are truly amazing!!

  4. I agree with Lakshmi (above). It is quite a grand old tree, and I wonder who did the painstaking art on it?
