The Colossal Monolith of Bahubali The Gommateshwara Statue at Shravanabelagola, Karnataka, India, is a 57-foot (about 17-metre) monolithic image of the Jain figure Bahubali, carved from a single block of granite around 981 CE at the behest of Chavundaraya, a minister of the Western Ganga dynasty. Standing atop Vindhyagiri hill, reached by a barefoot climb of some 600-plus rock-cut steps, it is among the tallest free-standing monolithic statues in the world.
