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 statue, both life-size and bust-size, is erected at the Headquarters building and in front of "The Adyar Library". Blavatsky and Colonel H. S. Olcott’s statues 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 the 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 the 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.
