    I nearly missed seeing the guy standing on the wing. That is a large sculpture.

      I was going to mention the guy, but I thought it was too obvious and people would say they could see him already.

      It’s based on Mythology. This place is known as where the ‘Jatayu’, died.

    It looks like it was carved from wood but it’s gotta be rock, right?

      It is. Actually the entire ‘hill’ is a big rock.

    They cheated giving it outstretched wings. I’d like to know what the largest bird statue with folded wings in the world is.

      I’d like to know that too, but I’m not sure how giving it outstretched wings is cheating. It’s something birds do.

        It’s not really important either way. This is still not the world’s largest statue of a sparrow, which is a record most people would care about.

    Is this where the term “spread eagle” comes from?

    So much giant statues in India… Are they compensating something?

      This one is different from the recent giant statues built. This is more of a tourist place, not related to any political party.

      Most of the world’s giant statues were made in NK. I wonder about this one.
