The Chandragiri hill becomes sacred because of the arrival of the fifth and the last Shrutakevali Bhadrabahu, who remained here until his last breath, fasting in the caves with purity of thought until salvation.
The Basadi’s and Manasathambhas (flagmasts) constructed are mirror to the architectural excellence prevailed in the early days in the Indian subcontinent. The stone inscriptions found on the rocks date back to 06th century AD and 12th century AD and are the largest in terms of numbers as compared to inscriptions found at other places in the state of Karnataka.

The last Basadi has the beautiful Parshwanath Tirthankar standing tall with a seven head serpent becoming a crown to him. The idol is made of soap stone. Infront of the Basadi is a beautiful manasathambh erected on a high raised platform. One can also visit the caves where Emperor Chandragupta Maurya and his teacher Shrutakevali Bhadrabahu, meditated until their last breath.
Chandragiri hill is approximately 3052 feet above sea level and around 350 – 400 steps to reach the hilltop. Please note that one has to walk barefoot, keeping the sacredness of the place.
