When I last visited my ancestral home in 2008 the tree was benevolent in gifting the juicy berries. But the ever abundant leaves were much less. The tree must be as old as the temple, over 1500 years with the pratishta of Brahma Rakshas at the foot.<br /><br />Your picture is definitely not poovam but seems to be Eucalyptus or something. It branches out at around 10 feet unlike in the picture which grows straight. And the trunk is not smooth and does not shed its bark <br /><br />Kindly ensure the correctness.You may access Kartyayani Temple to get a Picture of the grant old tree at the west corner of the temple and post it. Incidentally Cochin Devaswom Board abandoned renovation of the temple midway, closing western entrance and sadly in a crumpling condition with murals and carvings damaged<br /> Sankaranarayanan Chendra<br />shankarchendra@google.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568786313195132830noreply@blogger.com
