Arya Tea Estate, also known as ‘Sidrabong’ was named by a Buddhist monk in early 18th century and meant ‘Water Holy Fish’. This garden was established by Buddhist monks who developed and cultured different varieties of Chinese seeds at the time. Since the early years of its existence, these monks practiced Ayurveda medical science and the garden till today preserves the house where they used to live. Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine.
