Gommatagiri is an acclaimed Jain centre.
The 12th-century granite statue of Bahubali, also known as Gomateshwara, is erected atop a 50-metre (160 ft) tall hillock called 'Shravana Gudda'.
The Jain centre attracts many pilgrims during the annual Mahamastakabhisheka in September.
The statue at Gommatagiri is very similar to the 58-foot (18 m) Gommateshwara statue in Shravanabelagola, except that it is smaller.
Historians attribute the statue to an early Vijayanagar period.
