Jatayu Nature Park, Nature park in Chadayamangalam, India
Description
Jatayu Nature Park sits on a rock outcrop in Chadayamangalam and features a giant bird sculpture made from reinforced concrete. The entire site covers more than 26 hectares at around 350 meters elevation.
History
The project opened in December 2017 and was completed in stages through August 2018. It became the first public-private partnership tourism development in Kerala.
Culture
The enormous bird sculpture depicts Jatayu, who according to Hindu mythology attempted to rescue Sita from Ravana. Visitors can walk through the sculpture and explore viewing platforms built inside.
