The Theosophical Society remembers its Founders, Presidents, and Vice Presidents  & its unknown members by erecting their statues inside the Headquarters premises and creating a Garden of remembrance.  Colonel H S Olcott’s statute of both life-size and burst-size statues are erected at the Headquarters building and in front of The Adyar Library. Blavatsky and Colonel H S Olcott’s statute are in the Headquarters hall. The vice president S Subramania Iyer’s statue is also erected in front of the quarters building.

H S Olcott, Anne Besant, and N Sriram are cremated here and Lead Beater’s ash is also kept in the Garden of Remembrance. The Garden of Remembrance was constructed in the form of a TS emblem and interlocked triangles forming a star with lotus ponds to remember 125 years of past Presidents.

In addition to this H S Olcott was fondly remembered outside T S premises too, by keeping his name to a School, a residential colony ( Olcott Kuppam ) created for the fishermen in Besant Nagar for his remarkable service to the Community.
