The Ramayana film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor, has reignited interest in various aspects of the Indian epic. One scene that has particularly captivated audiences involves Jatayu, the divine bird who rescues Goddess Sita and battles Ravana. This has led to a surge of curiosity about a location linked to Jatayu - Kerala's Jatayu Earth Centre.
Situated in Chadayamangalam, within Kerala's Kollam district, Jatayu Earth Centre, alternatively called Jatayu Nature Park, has become a favored destination that seamlessly blends mythology, nature, and adventure. The standout feature of this center is an enormous sculpture of Jatayu, acknowledged as the world's largest bird sculpture.
The intricately crafted statue stands at an impressive 200 feet in length, 150 feet in width, and 70 feet in height. Nestled atop a hill, the sculpture provides a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding scenery.
In the Ramayana, Jatayu fought fiercely against Ravana to save Goddess Sita from her abduction. Though valiant, the bird was gravely injured and ultimately plummeted to the ground. Chadayamangalam holds a special significance in this regard, as it is traditionally considered the spot where Jatayu met his tragic end.
