THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE ADYAR THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

 
 
 
 
In 1882 Blavatsky and Olcott purchased an 27 acres plot of land known as "The Huddlestone Family Gardens" where this family had built their country house..
 

 
This place became the Headquarters of the Theosophical Society, and later when in 1895 the Theosophical Society divided into two organizations, this place became the Headquarters of the Theosophical Society presided over by Olcott and his successors.
 
Adyar is a town located south of the Indian city Chennai, former Madras, in the state of Tamil Nadu.
 
Initially there was only this big house and two cabins, but over time more buildings have been added: the Adyar publishing house, the Adyar museum, etc.
 
And the land has also been expanded much further, by the end of 1911 Annie Besant had expanded the Adyar property to 253 acres. The land is located next to the Adyar River and is mostly made up of gardens.
 
All of this has been achieved with donations made by members.
