The Auranga river is a river across which an old road bridge leads to nearby villages. Until recently, the old bridge had an uncomfortable tendency to vibrate when heavy vehicles crossed it, but this issue has since been resolved by new surfacing. The banks of the Auranga nadi were once muddy and swampy, and served as feeding grounds for the levti eels that are a local delicacy.
On a small port on the Auranga river near surrounding villages, there's a huge banyan tree, believed to be at least 500yrs older. So huge, that when they needed to make a bridge on the river, they had to cut down the majority of the banyan tree branches to accommodate for the bridge. the main tree stump covers area large enough to park 6-7 midsize family sedans.
