The 'gall', provides food and shelter for its insects and mites. In many cases, the galls induced by the parasites attain phenomenal structural complexity and architectural design which have allured the naturalists. In a survey of plant-galls in Tamil Nadu Forests in South India, we were able to record several remarkable galls of excelling architectural designs and sublime marvels. A few such illustrious galls and new reports are highlighted here.Keywords
