Jatayu earth centre statue in kollam district india

Epic shot of the Jatayu Earth Centre’s impressive statue “The monumental statue of Jatayu resting high up the hill catches your attention even from a far on your way to Chadayamangalam in Kollam district. Jatayu is a legendary bird from the Indian epic Ramayana. The giant sculpture of Jatayu is 200 feet long, 150 feet broad, and 70 feet high with a floor area of 15,000 square feet. That makes it the world's biggest bird sculpture.

Interestingly, the sculpture sits at the spot where Jatayu took his last breath. Locals believe that this is where the mythical bird fell after being struck down by Ravana.”
