Shravanabelagola is an important Jain pilgrimage center in the Southern Indian state of Karnataka. Marvel at the world’s tallest monolithic statue of Lord Gometeshwara perched on top of the Vindhyagiri hill. Carved out of a single rock, the statue was built in the 10th century by Chamundaraya of the Ganga dynasty and towers over the city. A pilgrimage center, Shravanabelagola is littered with Jain temples of various hues. Visit Chandragupta Basadi, a 12th-century monument built-in memory of King Chandragupta Maurya. The highlight of the monument includes ornamental doors, figurines of significant persons amongst others. Head to Akkana Basadi built in Hoysala architecture style made of soapstone and a simple dome-like structure dedicated to Parshwanath.
