Pillalamarri
Peerlamarri or Peerla marri or Pillala Marri is an 800-year-old banyan tree located in Mahabubnagar, Telangana, India.[1] It is a major tourist attraction located 4 kilometers from Mehboobnagar town.
The tree has many banyan trees which grow in its proximity, like its children, hence the name. It is spread over three acres of land.
In 2003, it was announced that there would be a special cover to commemorate the tree.[2]
There is a science museum which houses some of the artefacts found in the Palamoor region.[3] There is a small nursery and a deer park around the great Peerlamarri, and some movies' scenes are shot there.[2]
