The pic below taken during my visit to the Mangrove forests located in Pichavaram lake, about 18 KMs from the famous temple city of Chidambaram, Tamilnadu.
These are the rarest marsh land situated near the seashore of Bay of Bengal.
What appear to be the trunks of trees, are actually the roots of the water dependant mangrove forest trees. The roots do both get nourishment and provide support to the trees that actually thrive on the backwaters of the nearby sea.
This place , Pichavaram, is preserved as a Eco centre and declared as a Eco tourism spot.
Earlier, many movies were made here with boat chasing scenes as the climax of the story.
Why the film makers deserted this beautiful scenic place, is a question mark.
