Sravanabelagola

Sravanabelagola
Shravanabelagola, a great centre for Jain culture, is famous for its colossal statue of Gomateshwar who is also referred to as Lord Bahubali. Carved out of monolithic stone, the imposing 17 metres high statue of Gomata towers stands in majestic splendour and is visible even from a distance of 20 km.
At 58 feet 8 inches high, it is the tallest free-standing statue in the world. Starkly simple, the beautifully chiselled features of the statue embody serenity. His perfect lips are turned out at the corners with a hint of a smile, viewing the world with detachment.
