Jatayu Earth’s Center, also known as Jatayu Nature
Park or Jatayu Rock, is a park and tourism centre at Chadayamangalam
in Kollam district of Kerala. It stands at an altitude of 350m (1200ft) above
mean sea level. Jatayu Nature Park is holding the distinction of having the
world’s largest bird sculpture (200 feet (61 m) long, 150 feet
(46 m) broad, 70 feet (21 m) in height and having 15,000 square feet
(1,400 m2) of floor area) of the great bird Jatayu.[ With the bird-sculpture being sculpted by Rajiv

state of Kerala under the BOT model. The park is about 38 km (24 mi)
away from the city of Kollam and 46 km (29 mi) away from the state
capital, Thiruvananthapuram.
The statue symbolizes protection of women and was designed and sculpted by Rajiv Anchal, who is a sculptor by education
