The Banyan Tree form a part of the Chennai history with its presence. The Adyar Theosophical society has a 220 year old Banyan tree spreading across 40000 sq.ft. area and was revived after the storm in 1989 thanks to its 100 odd branches still holding ground. Also the Banyan Tree in St.Thomas Mount shrine is a very old one and close to the Chennai history.
