Thimmamma Marrimanu Banyan Tree

Thimmamma Marrimanu is a massive banyan tree located near Nambulapulikunta in Sri Sathya Sai District, Andhra Pradesh, about 35 km from Kadiri. Recognized by Guinness World Records in 1989 as the world's largest banyan tree, its canopy covers over 19,000 square meters with more than a thousand prop roots. The tree is named after Thimmamma and houses a small temple beneath it, making it both a natural wonder and a revered local site.

Visitors can expect to see an expansive banyan tree with a dense canopy supported by numerous aerial prop roots forming a forest-like grove. A small temple dedicated to Thimmamma is located beneath the tree. The site has open pathways winding through the prop roots, shaded seating areas, and open ground for walking and photography. The surroundings are rural and arid with agricultural fields, and the atmosphere is quiet and shaded under the canopy.
