A childless couple, Chikka Thimakka and her husband Bikkal Chikkiah, by
Hulikal about Bangalore planted and nurtured a roadside avenue of 240
banyan trees for a period for over 40 years. Thimakka and her husband
started planting trees because they were childless even in 15 years of
marriage. They thought that by doing good for the society, they would
be blessed by children. But, that was not to be. They considered the
after
trees to be their children and cared of them even when they had hardly
anything to eat. Even when Chikkiah's death, his widow continued to
plant saplings for his memory. She lived in a hovel, with no children to
support her and yet she continued by their life's mission.
