Over the past few years, our government has squandered money over statues one after the other. A 3000 crore statue at one place, a 4000 crore statue at another, Don't know how many more statues are being planned by them all from the money that comes from our taxes. So a question arises here is it possible to build a statue which serves as a great tourist attraction for us? and so that our tax money does not get wasted.
This statue has a lot of unique features when compared to any other normal statue, come let us see them one by one.
The first phase of Jatayu Nature Park, a much awaited tourism destination in Kerala, is all set to open in January 2016. The park is named after the mythical bird from Ramayana — Jatayu, who tried to rescue Sita from Ravana. The nature park project has been started with the aim of promoting mythology, adventure and wellness tourism. Located in Chadayamangalam village in Kollam district of Kerala, this rock theme park will be a treat to the eyes as well as the sense of adventure for the tourists.
