He is said to have meditated motionless for a year in a standing posture and that during this time, climbing plants grew around his legs. After his a year of meditation, Bahubali is said to have attained omniscience.

The statue was built by the Ganga dynasty minister and commander Chavundaraya; it is a 57-foot monolith situated above a hill in Shravanabelagola in the Hassan district, Karnataka state, India.
