Dodda Alada Mara

The Dodda Aalada Mara, literally translated to Big Banyan Tree, is a giant approximately 400-year-old banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) located in the village of Kethohalli in the Bengaluru Urban district of Karnataka, India. This single plant covers 3 acres (1.2 ha) and is one of the largest of its

kind. In the 2000s, the main root of the tree succumbed to disease, and thus the tree now looks like many different trees. The Dodda Alada Mara is named a heritage tree.
