Mangaluru, May 4: The Takode tree, a living witness to the birthplace of Sri Kanthabare-Boodabaare in Kollur of Mulki taluk, was uprooted on Friday.
Studies have confirmed that this tree was between 800 to 1000 years old.
According to historical accounts, the Kanthabare- Boodabare twins were renowned warrior lieutenants of the Mulki Savantha kings.
Legend holds that they were born under this very tree, and after their birth, they were placed in a cradle tied to the western branch of the Takode tree.
