A natural way to describe large flora.
Contexto cultural
The 'Ooru Mandhai' (village common ground) almost always features a 'Periya maram' where elders meet to discuss village matters. Trees are often personified in Tamil poetry as silent witnesses to history and love. Certain 'Periya maram' types like the Neem or Peepal are considered goddesses or abodes of deities. The Theosophical Society's Adyar Banyan Tree is a famous 'Periya maram' that is a pride of the city.
