Kerala's rock-themed nature park, the Jatayu Nature Park, is set to launch its primary phase in 2016. It is located in Chatatayamangalam in Kollam district where the mythical Jatayu is said to have fallen from the sky. The nature park is about to throw its gates open to visitors next year with a collection of sights and adventure games to relish.

The park houses the mythical bird Jatayu's sculpture atop a hill, the largest bird sculpture in the world, standing at 200 feet long, 150 feet broad and 70 feet in height. The statue also houses a unique digital museum, a 6D theatre and a lot of exclusive technological wonders.

The sculpture is said to be placed at the spot where Jatayu landed.

Speculated to be the spot where Jatayu fell from the skies after his battle with Raavan, there is a huge rock mound at the park where the statue sits, re-enacting the epic scene.
