World's LARGEST Bird Sculpture! - Jatayu Earth Center

Jatayu Earth Center, also known as Jatayu Nature Park or Jatayu Rock, is a park and tourism centre in Kollam district of Kerala. It stands at an altitude of 350m (1200ft) above sea level.

Jatayu Nature Park holds the distinction of having the world’s largest bird sculpture, which is of Jatayu.

The sulpture measures (200 feet (61 m) long, 150 feet (46 m) wide, 70 feet (21 m) in height and occupies 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) of floor area). It was sculpted by Rajiv Anchal.

The park located near the town of Chadayamangalam (Jatayumangalam), which was named for Jatayu. Jatayu was a demi-god in Ramayana (a Hindu epic) who had the form of a vulture.

According to the epic, Ravana was attempting to abduct Sita to Lanka when Jatayu tried to rescue her. Jatayu fought valiantly with Ravana, but as Jatayu was very old Ravana soon defeated him, clipping his wings, and Jayatu fell onto the rocks in Chadayamangalam. Rama and Lakshmana while on the search for Sita, chanced upon the stricken and dying Jatayu, who informed them of the battle with Ravana and told them that Ravana had headed South.
