JATAYU TOURIST VILLAGE
The place has connections to the stories in the Hindu Indian epic called the Ramayana. History says that, when Ravan the king of asuras, kidnapped "Sita" wife of Lord Sri Rama and tried to take her to his kingdom Lanka, Jaday; the huge bird opposes and result in a battle between them. In the war Ravan slit Jadayu's one wing and escaped to Lanka with Sita. With a fatal wound, Jadayu falls on top of a big rock. Later Rama & Lakshmana found wounded Jadayu and Jadayu passed the message and died on the laps of Rama. Hence, the rock got the name Jadayupara. Jatayu is the son of Aruna and nephew of Garuda who has the form of a vulture. When Ravana was on his way to Lanka on his flying chariot after abducting Sita, he encountered Jatayu. This noble souled bird could not bear to hear poor Sita's cry for help and got into a fight with the mighty Ravana. Ravana cut off Jatayu's wings and he collapsed. Jadayu Para is well known as a tourist destination and a place of pilgrimage. Right on top the rock the building of a huge functional sculpture of the Great Bird Jatayu is under way. An 18 ft high Statue of Lord Shri Rama Chandra is been constructed on the top of jadayupara.
