Claim: atayu, a mythical bird from Ramayana, is found alive for first time in Kaliyug in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-09)
Evidence (2007-07-17): The Vanaras seems to a tribe with the monkey totem.The Ramayana belongs to a period when most of India was jungle with tribal forest-dwellers. India still contains several tribes with animal totems. An early issue of the Bellary District Gazetteer gives us the interesting information that the place was inhabited by the Vanara people. The Jaina Ramayana mentions that the banner of the Vanaras was the vanaradhvaja (monkey flag), thereby reinforcing the totemic theory. Similarly, Jatayu would have been the king of the vulture-totem tribe and Jambavan of the bear-totem tribe. Elugu means bear and this surname belongs to Telugu Mudiraj people. Among Mudiraj there are many more such surnames such as puli (lion), Nakka (fox), bathuladuck), Guvva (Dove), etc., representing animal and bird totems. [...] Another important site is Bandi Pushala Chenu in Bellary-Kurnool area where excavations of the typical Harappan steatite wheel-like beads are found. These beads occur in all Harappan sites as early as 3000 BC. Bithur near Kanpur, a traditional Ramayana site, had yielded weapons of the culture, archeologically designated as ochre-coloured pottery (OCP), ranging from 1500 to 2000 BC or even 3000 BC near Ghaneswar in Rajasthan. When Rama came to Kishkindha, the Vanaras were the same Neolithic people, whose help he took, said Prof. Rao.

Evidence (2021-01-01): Maricha was employed in the form of a golden deer to tempt Sita and to get Rama away from her, so that Ravana could approach Sita in disguise and abduct her. Jatayu, Rama’s ally, saw Ravana capturing Sita and tried to stop him, but Ravana chopped off his wings, fatally wounding him. Ravana then proceeded to take Sita to Lanka. While Ravana kept Sita under his custody in the Ashoka Grove under the Simsapa Tree, Rama followed the golden deer and realized that it was a mere illusion, and he killed it. But when Rama and Lakshmana returned to the ashram, they found Sita nowhere. They met Jatayu, who was bleeding to death, and the bird related to them the story of Sita’s abduction before he passed away. They performed the funeral rites for Jatayu, and went further ahead, killing Kabandha and liberating him, giving moksha to the ascetic Shabari, and then reached Lake Pampa.
