"Sravanabelagola, a great centre for Jain culture is situated at a distance of about 100 kms from Mysore and is famous for the colossal statue of Gomateshwara who is also referred to as Lord Bahubali. Carved out of a monolithic stone, the imposing 17 metre high statue of Gomata stands in majestic splendour and is visible even from a distance of 20 kms. Starkly simple, the brilliantly chiseled features of the statue personify tranquility. His perfect lips are turned out at the corners with a hint of a smile, viewing the world with indifference. " (found this on google). This statue on a green table is directly in front of Lord Bahubalis feet.
