Built among the 20-acre rocky mountainous property, the Jadayupara Adventure Park was constructed under the supervision of sculptor and movie director Rajiv Anchal. The sculpture of the mystical bird Jadayu is the world\u2019s largest bird sculpture which is 200 feet long, 150 feet wide and 70 feet tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a legend related to the Jadayupara; it is said that Jatayu tried to save Sita Devi, wife of Lord Rama, when the demon king Ravana was abducting her in his airborne chariot. Jadayu is said to have fought bravely and fallen on these rocks, severely injured.<\/p>\n\n\n
