About Kintoor Parijaat Tree
A single ancient baobab, a tree from Africa, growing in a village said to be named after Kunti; the story is that Arjuna brought it from Indralok for his mother. Botany says it is Adansonia digitata and genuinely old; belief says it is the only one. It is fenced and protected by the state, and India Post put it on a stamp in 1997. Ten minutes from Lodheshwar Mahadev.
What to see and do
