| Jatayupara (Jatayuppara) Kollam Kerala |
Chadayamangalam is a village in Kollam district in the state of Kerala, India. The place has mythological importance as having connections to the stories in the Hindu epic of Ramayana. The place is believed to have derived its current name from its old name of Jatayumangalam. Jatayu was the giant bird that engaged in a fight with Ravana as the latter was on his way to Lanka after kidnapping Sita. Ravana cut the wings of Jatayu, which forced Jatayu to fall down. Jatayu fell on a huge rock, which was later called Jatayuppara. Jatayuppara is a tourist place now.
A huge sculpture of a mythological bird from the Indian epic Ramayana is under construction at the top a Rock. The 200-foot long, 150-foot wide and 50-foot tall ‘functional’ sculpture of Jatayu will be built on a 1,000-foot tall rock at Chadayamangalam. This will have three storeys inside with other attractions including a museum and mini film theatre.
The form of the Bird would be lying on its back with a broken wing, raising its head. The visitors who enter the sculpture can literally have a Bird?s Eye View as Jatayu?s eyes are planned to be round windows opening out to the world. Once finished, Jatayu sculpture would be the biggest functional sculpture in the Asian continent. It can be termed as the tallest sculpture as well. The rock is ideal for trekking and can find lot of Tourists.
The news of this biggest functional sculpture which is been constructed is slowlyspreading. There are lots of Ayyappa Pilgrims who travel via Trivandrum and Kanyakumari towards Shabarimala. For the spiritual tourists from other states, Jatayu Rock can doubtlessly turn into a great attraction. It would be especially attractive to North Indian Pilgrims who are largely Ram devotees.
