Thereafter, the place is known to be as Jatayumangalam. Over the years, it became Chadayamangalam and the peak became Jatayupara (Jatayu Rock).

Why as Jatayu Earth Center: Jatayu’s statue signifies women’s security and honor. Endangering his life, he tried his best to save Goddess Sita from the demon. Every visitor should admire and comprehend this inspirational design. The Jatayu Earth Center includes four hills of Jatayu Rock Hill, Adventure Rock Hill, Elephant Rock Hill and Kitchen Rock Hill. As of now only Jatayu Rock Hill and Adventure Rock Hill are presently allotted for tourism. The sculpture and the facilities are world-class with the finest maintenance. The rest two are under construction and expected to be completed by this year 2020.
