The Chain TreeNearer to the gateway of wayanad we can see the big chain tree.The story says like this: An Adivasi (tribal) named Karinthandan, who discovered the route to Wayanad through the difficult mountain terrain. A British colonialist killed Karinthandan in order to get the credit for finding the route through the jungle. People believe that Karinthandan’s ghost had been haunting later travellers. It was calmed only after a priest chained the spirit to this banyan tree. There is a small temple near to this tree, people believes that the God of that temple protects them from the troublesome spirit of Karinthandan.
This place is called Lakkidi, blessed with a fantastic view and great w
eather. It is the border of Wayanad district. Lakkidi is a popular halt for tourists on their way to Ootty and Mysore/Banglore.I have painted this picture in the year 2003 January for Wayanad Flower Show 2003, in the water color media, and clicked this snap in 2009.
Once this story has been telecasted by Asianet, a popular Malayalam television channel.
