A green place with vintage buildings inside a hot city like chennai city is indeed something special. Theosophical society is a placed i visited last year on my 27th birthday for the first time, a visit which turned out to be memorable forever. It is situated near the banks of river coovam, filled with green trees and bird wailing, that too in the heart of the city. The place was formed by Helena blavatsky in the year 1890 in chennai. In its formative years people like Annie besant and Jiddu krishnamurthi had played a significant role in bringing up this theosophical society. Not many know this but it is my school which I studied, St.Patricks Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in Adyar gave land for this noble initiative.
The place is filled with greenery with various type of trees, which are specified with botanical names on it. You can also find various type of reptiles and specimens running around. This place can be a playground for avid photographers who love to shoot vintage buildings built during the british period or the tiny reptiles running past or the magnificent trees standing tall. One of the major attractions inside this place is the adyar banyan tree which is the one of the biggest banyan trees in the country.
There is also a beautiful buddha temple inside the society which gives a sense of calmness when you’re just near it. I managed to take a pic of this which crossed 10,000 views in a couple of weeks and is one of the most viewed pics of mine. There is also a river view just nearby the temple to see its beauty especially in the evenings when the sun sets is a visual treat. By enlarge this is a wonderful place to visit which not many people know and I hope this post gives an idea of what to expect inside this green heaven.
