Jatayu Paaka, also known as Yetapaka, is located about 2 km from
Bhadrachalam in
Khammam District. According to legends, it is the place where the king of eagles Jattayuvu (an ardent devotee of
Lord Ram) attacked the demon king
Ravana, while carrying off
Sita to Lanka. Jattayuvu was seriously injured in the battle and one of his wings fell at Rekhapalli, 55 km from here.
