The first impression of ‘Jatayupara’ is that of a colossal statue that is 200 feet long, 70 feet tall and 150 feet wide.
More importantly, this giant concrete structure makes Kerala’s Jatayupara the largest functional statue of a bird in the world, with an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Not many people are familiar with Jatayupara Earths Center built by film maker and sculptor Rajiv Anchal. It is said that the famed Jatayu bird fell on this rock when injured and it is here that the giant bird statue has been built in honour of the courage displayed at a crucial time.
Interestingly, there is also a pond near the rock that is said to have been formed by the stroke of Jatayu’s beak. For travellers, there is much to explore in the area.
