42 feet Gommateshwara statue. Peaceful location. Vehicles cannot go to the top. Vehicles need to park downside and climb about 200 steps. It takes 5-10mins to reach the top. Few hotels available at parking place. No food allowed inside the temple. From top view is good. You can see Chaturmukha basadi top view from the hill top. The best time to go is either morning or evening.

The Karkala Gomateshwara temple is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Nestled amidst nature, this underrated gem offers a serene escape from the bustling world. The temple boasts the second tallest monolithic statue of Bahubali in the world, a magnificent testament to ancient craftsmanship. Built in 1432 CE, the temple exudes a rich historical aura. While a nominal fee of 50 Rs is charged for car parking, the experience of witnessing this unique marvel makes it well worth the visit.

The statue stands in a height of 42 feet with a stone platform of 5 feet. What makes it distinct from other iconography is the creepers and ant hills on his legs and arms. One can find some of the statues of other Jain saints around the shrine. The statue has the features like elongated ears, long arms, three folds on the neck, curly hair etc. Along with the green landscape around the statue, one can also find a with in absolute symmetrical structure.

At the heart of Gommata betta stands the monolithic idol of Bahubali, a towering around 40 feet tall, representing one of the enlightened Jain saints. A significant place of worship and importance for the Jain community, offers a serene and peaceful environment that fills visitors with a sense of bliss.
