________________ 3. Gommateswara Bahubali The statue of Gommateswara Bahubali at Sravan Belgola (981CE) is nineteen meters high and sculptured from a single rock and is the largest freestanding monolithic statue in the world. It symbolizes complete detachment from the world, an aspiration of all Jains. Conclusively, we find that Jains have contributed significantly to art that have helped us uncover more of Jain ethics, religion and antiquity.
