The Lightning-Struck Tree – A Natural Marvel at Our Unique Farmstay
One of the most fascinating sights at Thathachimanai is a charred Banyan tree stump, a remnant of nature’s raw energy. Originally standing tall along the highway, this tree was struck by a bolt of lightning measuring up to 300 million volts.
Did you know?
Lightning can reach temperatures six times hotter than the surface of the sun!
It primarily strikes tall trees, open fields, and high-rise buildings, causing massive structural and environmental impacts.
Instead of letting this natural marvel disappear, we relocated the stump to our farmstay in Tamil Nadu, where visitors can see up close how nature reshapes itself in an instant. A must-see for anyone curious about the science of lightning and natural phenomena.
Prehistoric Fossils & Minerals – A Rare Find at Our Farmstay Near Bangalore
At Thathachimanai Farmstay, we take pride in our collection of over 200 rare fossils and minerals, making us a one-of-a-kind destination for history and geology enthusiasts. Our family, often referred to as "accidental paleontologists," has spent years curating this extraordinary display.
Some of the most remarkable fossils include:
🦖 Trilobites – Extinct marine arthropods from 520 million years ago.
🐚 Ammonites – Prehistoric sea creatures with intricate spiral shells.
🪵 Petrified Wood & Fossilized Leaves – Ancient trees turned into stone over millions of years.
🔶 Amber – Tree resin fossilized over time, often preserving ancient insects.
🪙 Shaligrama & Devonites – Sacred and scientifically valuable fossils.
In addition to fossils, we house a breathtaking collection of minerals, crystals, and gemstones, adding another layer of intrigue for geology lovers and spiritual seekers.
How Did Marine Fossils End Up in the Himalayas?
One of the most intriguing mysteries of Earth’s history is how ocean fossils ended up in deserts and mountain peaks. Our collection helps answer this question!
Millions of years ago, Earth was a supercontinent called Pangea.
Due to tectonic plate movements, landmasses shifted, forming today’s continents.
Marine fossils found in Rajasthan’s deserts and on Mount Everest are proof that these regions were once submerged under ancient seas.
For travelers who love science, history, and adventure, this is a fascinating learning experience at our nature retreat near Bangalore.
