This ancient cluster of rain trees occupies a big triangular area right besides Kalghatgi road in Saraswatpur locality. Within the cluster is a govt school which is completely concealed by the trees. Decades ago Saraswatpur was 80% vegetation and 20% buildings & roads. There were tiled-roof bungalows completely surrounded by trees and plants. Presently, a number of bungalows have made way to apartments and muti-storied buildings, and in the process vegetation has vanished. I just hope this cluster of Samanea saman trees are around for many more years if not decades.
Rain tree flowers are unique with needle like petals.
