At Shravanabelagola on the Indragiri hill there are various ancient monuments all over the hillock. One among them is Siddhar Gundu.
This is a huge boulder with carvings of Jain Tirthankaras is located just 30 steps on the upward journey after one crosses another monument Tyagada Kamba.
At the top portion of the boulder there is a carvings of of Lord Adinatha and his one hundred children.
There is also a unique carving of Lord Bahubali in padmasana and this we can not see anywhere else as we see him in all other places in a standing position.

It must be a real tough job carving out those statues.
I love seeing ancient monuments, carved stones, places of worship from ancient days. This is fascinating!
Very interesting carvings :-)
I just watched Amazing Race Canada and the last episode was taken in India. What a wonderful trip it would be to experience that someday. Thank goodness for the web that helps us find windows to the world, eh? Your blog is a nice window to India :-)
