Vindhyagiri — Local services in Karnataka

Shravanabelagola is a historic and spiritual town located in Karnataka, known for its majestic monolithic statue of Lord Bahubali (Gommateshwara). Nestled between two hills—Vindhyagiri and Chandragiri—the site is one of the most important pilgrimage centers for Jains. The climb to the top of Vindhyagiri involves ascending over 600 steps carved out of stone, but the breathtaking view and the sight of the 57-feet tall Bahubali statue make the effort completely worthwhile.

The statue, carved in a single granite block, stands tall as a symbol of peace, renunciation, and self-control. It is considered the world’s largest monolithic statue and attracts thousands of devotees and tourists, especially during the Mahamastakabhisheka festival, which takes place once every 12 years.

Apart from its spiritual significance, Shravanabelagola also offers a glimpse into ancient Indian art, architecture, and inscriptions dating back over a thousand years. The town is clean, peaceful, and well-maintained, making it a serene destination for both history lovers and spiritual seekers.
