🌳 The Great Banyan Tree – Kolkata's Living Legend 🌳

What looks like an entire forest… is actually just one tree!

Located in the Indian Botanic Garden, Kolkata — this isn’t just any tree. It’s the world’s widest tree, covering 4.67 acres of land!

That’s as wide as a cricket stadium and taller than the Gateway of India.

The tree is over 250 years old, older than most buildings in the city.

In 1867, its main trunk had to be removed after a storm and fungal infection. But did the tree die?
👉 Nope. It survived without a main trunk — thanks to its 3000+ aerial roots that turned into new trunks.

Today, these roots have spread like a network of life, creating a canopy so vast that over 10,000 people can stand under it at once!

It’s not just a tree — it’s a symbol of resilience, community, and quiet strength.
🌱 Proof that even without a center, support systems can help you thrive.

📍 Next time you're in Kolkata, don’t miss this marvel of nature.
Because some roots… are deeper than they seem.
