The Garden
Known as the "Huddleston Gardens," the Theosophical Society garden lies on the south bank of the Adyar River and covers 260 acres. The garden has migratory birds, fruit bats, snakes, jackals, wild cats, mongooses, hares and a variety of spider. Trees include the rare mahogany and other trees from across the globe. The garden also has a 450-year-old banyan tree, known locally as Adyar aala maram, whose aerial roots cover some 60,000 sq m.
