The Baobab tree in Orchha has been around for almost as long as Orchha - bearing witness to the fall and rise of dynasties, its rulers and their monuments. It is located in geographical center of India in the state of Madhya Pradesh.
The sheer enormity of the Baobab tree is more than enough to leave you astonished. It is said that the Baobab tree is one of the world's most ancient trees that came into existence even before the continental drift.
The locals of Orchha believe that the tree was brought to India as a gift to the local kings more than five hundred years ago from Africa. Another popular myth suggests that Lord Krishna went to Africa and brought back Baobab seeds with himself. Whereas, others believe that when gods and demons churned the oceans, the Baobab tree was one the nine jewels that emerged out of them.
