Thimmamma Marrimanu, Banyan tree in Ananthapuram, India
The banyan tree spreads its canopy across 19,107 square meters with numerous aerial roots extending downward from branches to form additional trunks.
In 1989, Regret Iyer, a journalist from Bangalore, documented this tree and helped register it in the Guinness Book of World Records.
A temple beneath the tree hosts ceremonies where Hindu devotees gather to worship during the annual Shivaratri festival in February.
Located 25 kilometers from Kadiri town, visitors can reach the tree by following a rural path through fields and small villages.
The tree grows from the location where Thimmamma performed sati in 1434, and its name combines marri meaning banyan and manu meaning tree in Telugu.

The collection includes cultural landmarks like the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in Sri Lanka and ecological wonders like the Dragon Blood Trees of Socotra.
