Officials estimated that around 20 liters of water emerged from the tree.

The tree, native to southern and southeast Asia, thrives in countries like India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Botanists note that this tree possesses a unique trait of storing water within its trunk.
This water is drinkable and holds medicinal properties, aiding in alleviating stomach ailments.

Additionally, its bark is known for its fire-resistant qualities, while the wood is utilized in crafting furniture and musical instruments.
The leaves of the Nalla Maddi tree are a primary food source for Antheraea paphia silkworms, which produce tussar silk, a commercially valuable wild silk.
Kintukuru village is in the Rampachodavaram mandal of the former East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh.
