Dodda Aalada Mara, Ramohalli, Bangalore, 2012

Ramohalli, Bangalore - 2012

Dodda Aalada Mara - Big Banyan tree

info: This single plant covers 3 acres (12,000 m2) and is one of the largest of its kind. It is said to be at least 400 years old
Address: Tavarekere Hobli, Bangalore, Karnataka 






When i was a kid, my parents had taken us to Calcutta and we visited THE banyan tree - I remember the walk was too long and i refused to walk and my mom dragged me.

Now as a grown up i took my nephew and niece to Dodda Alada Mara which is in outskirts of Bangalore. Thou it is not as Big as Calcutta but still it is BIG enough for anyone of us it covers 3 acres.



Filled with monkeys - clever and intelegent ones. -a story for you

Mummy Daddy elder sister and the little one. family on a tree branch. Daddy helping mummy cleaning her fur by removing the hair lice and also yum yum having it as a snack.



elder sister being an audience watching Ma and Pa romance and also the crowd who is walking around the branches- the huge span of spread of the tree.

The little one jumping hanging like a Tarzan and trying all the new tricks he has learnt.




Me with my family - amma appa my bro - bhabhi and two little ones - 9 yrs and 12 months
 i am carrying the 12 months and the 9yrs holding my finger and walking by my side.








the little one(monkey) got excited looking at another little one i was carrying- we stood there watching him, he slowly came closer and closer and closer - he extended his little hand towards my nephew and
BANG
---he gets one slap from his daddy - who looked at him slapped him one more time - and said: will you go and mix with strangers if they take you away what are we gong to do? 100% times we have told you not to talk to strangers - then the daddy monkey looked at me and said I know you have a plan to kidnap my baby - but dont forget i am there to protect my family.

looking at his anger we quickly moved and started walking - the Daddy started following us - jumping from one tree to another and making faces on us - sometimes swinging towards us with the roots of the tree. he started becoming aggressive more and more - so i was thinking -- he is so threatened by us that he wants to make sure we leave that premises.

i told my family let us go as the daddy might hurt our little one -

but our little 12 years old was enjoying the monkey following us and suddenly he offered his baby milk bottle and daddy happily snatched it and ran up the tree - through the nipple and drank the milk - my nephew was so happy he started clapping. but after 5 min my nephew wanted the bottle back and started crying the daddy monkey threw the empty bottle and went back and joined his family and my nephew was happy to get back his empty bottle.



so we realized the karmic connection between the two ancestors.
