Pakhi Pahar
পাখি পাহাড়
An entire cliff face carved into a large-scale rock sculpture of birds in flight. It is a distinctive artistic landmark on the southern foot of the Ayodhya Hills.
Sculptor Jitaranjan Kar began leading local youths in carving dozens of giant birds into the granite mountain wall in the 1990s. Together they form the theme of 'birds flying toward the sky', and the work is still being completed. The scale is best appreciated from the foot of the hill, and you can also climb up by a small path. The surroundings are quiet villages and farmland, which pair well with a same-day trip to Turga Falls and Charida village.
