Most of the approach routes to Shravanabelagola pass through Channarayapatna and as a traveller drives through this place, he observes a conspicuous hill a few miles to the south east bearing on its summit what appears at first sight to be a column, but which on drawing nearer proves to be a colossal statue in the human form. This striking and unusual object, the image of Gommateshwara which is visible for miles around marks the site of Shravanabelagola. The chief seat of Jains in South India, probably from the earliest authentic period of Indian history.
