Bhagwanji Bhai Rupapara of Gujarat has built such a bird house from 2500 small and big pots in his village, which people come from far and wide to see.
This Shivling shaped structure with thousands of mats, is not a theme park but a bird house built by farmer Bhagwanji Bhai, a fourth pass from Navi Sankli village of Gujarat.
It was the love of Bhagwanji Bhai of Gujarat for the birds that he made such a house for the birds, regardless of the cost. We all often take the help of architect to interior designer to build a house, but the fourth pass Bhagwanji Bhai has designed 140 feet long and 40 feet high bird house with his own understanding. You will be surprised to know that for this he has spent about 20 lakh rupees. In this, he has decorated about 2500 small and big pots in such a way that many types of birds can make their home in it.
For years, 75-year-old Bhagwanji Bhai used to worry about where these birds would live in the rain. What was it then, he himself solved this problem of the birds. This beautiful bird house built by him has become the identity of his small village. Other members of his family also supported him in this work.
It took Bhagwanji almost a year to prepare this unique bird house. He says, “By the grace of God I am financially able. I thought why not work for those voiceless. Birds can’t ask us for help, we have to go ahead and help them.”
Even at the age of 75, he himself manages his 100 acres of farms. While both his sons run an agro company. Earlier he had also built a Shiva temple in the village. He has also made this bird house in the shape of Shivling.
Today, many types of birds including pigeons, parrots live in this bird house, but it has also become an identity of their village. People come from far and wide to see it.
