Our main intent to visit Bangalore was to have darshan at Shri Sharavanabelagola - famous Jain Tirth located near Channarayapatna of Hassan district in the Indian state of Karnataka and is 144 km (89 mi) from Bengaluru. The Gommateshwara Bahubali statue at Shravanabelagola is one of the most important tirthas (pilgrimage destinations) in Jainism.
This place is spread over two hills - Chandragiri and Vindhyagiri .Gommateshwara Bahubali statue is one of the tirthas for Jains Tirthas means pilgrimage destinations.
The statue is Gommateshwara for Kannadigas and Bahubali is for Jains
Gommateshwara statue is world’s largest monolithic statue
The statue is 70 ft tall
Mahamastakabhisheka is the important festival here and it happens in 12 yrs
