Historical place
In Karnataka
state there are many historical places like Mysore, Belur, Halebidu,
Shravanabelagola, Hampi, etc.
There are
many stories behind these historical places, which are very interesting. Among
the historical temples I want to write about a well known historical temple called
Shravanabelagola.
Shravanabelagola
is a very small place. It is a very important centre of jain pilgrimage.
According to history, Chandragupta Maurya, the great Indian emperor went to
Shravanabelagola after which he became a Jain.
In
Shravanabelagola there is a very big stone statue of Gomateshwara. It is 17
metres tall and is made out of a single stone. It is said that statue is the
biggest statue in the world carved out of single stone.
Everyone
visit Shravanabelogola to see the beautiful statue of Gomateshwara. As it is a
tourist place people can enjoy along with family and friends.
