Overview
At the foot of Gomatagiri Hill lie a cluster of modest Basadis, or Jain shrines, that set a serene and spiritual tone for the journey upward to the towering Bahubali statue. These ancient stone structures, understated yet deeply symbolic, house calm and contemplative idols of the Tirthankaras—the revered spiritual teachers in Jainism. Their quiet presence invites reflection and reverence, embodying centuries of Jain monastic life that once flourished in this region.
Ambience of the Shrine
Set amidst lush greenery and tucked into the natural contours of the hill, the Basadis blend harmoniously with their surroundings, creating a tranquil space untouched by time. For visitors, they serve not only as spiritual pitstops but also as intimate windows into the philosophical and architectural legacy of Jainism in Karnataka.
Together with the sacred Bahubali atop the hill, these shrines complete Gomatagiri’s quiet yet profound spiritual landscape.
