The Yakshi statue is one of the major things to see at the Malampuzha Gardens. This life size statue around 10 to 12 feet high is a master piece from the artist Kanayi. I understood from the local person that there is a dispute going on about placing the statue in the garden as permission of the artist had not been sought. That apart this is a master piece chiseled in stone. Yaksha refers to a celestial being and she seems to be sitting naked in a yogic postures. The face conveys a lot of expressions. The only sad part is that such a great piece of work should be maintained much more than that is being done today. Also a information board will be very useful for visitors.
