Dating back to Indus Valley Civilization







The Monolithic statue of 60 feet tall standing on top of the Hill built in 10th century
The statue is located on the Hilltop known as Vindhyagiri
Crane your head to see Him completely , look at his mental strength and a soft message about Non-Violence

Illuminating rays speaks about the purity of his mind , body and soul




The task of sacrificing ego, pride, jealously and greed ...it is as Gigantic as this statue .
But once you master this art of killing greed , you will move up from a fallen state to a higher level .
Gomateshwara Statue  is the proof that one can attain divine status by the way he leads his life .





Opposite to Vindhyagiri is Chandragiri .

Bharatha , Gomateshwara's brother.
Standing tall and he is unashamed , feel like he is telling me " whatever it is - i dont care" ..
