Bahubali is a revered personality among Jains. He once got into a fight with his brother, he was leading and in rage of the fight, lifted his fist to strike his brother’s head. Just at that instinct, he was filled with shame and right there balded himself with bare hands. He also meditated there in standing position for a year. The 59 feet Gommateshwara statue in Shravanbelagola is built in his honor.
