CHAIN TREE, WAYANAD

CHAIN TREE
This large Ficus Tree, bound by a prominent chain is the sourse of
 a dramatic local legend.
As the tale goes, an Adivasi (tribe) youth named Karinthandan was instrumental in
guiding a British engineer through the difficult  mountain terrain into Wayanad.
Eager to take credit for the discovery, the engineer conveniently killed his guide, 
whose soul, according to the legend, constantly haunted subsequent travelers.

 It is further believed that a priest chained the troublesome spirit onto this tree.
