A common view in Shravanabelagola, Karnataka,India a Jain pilgrim center and a must visit place where you can find jaint 55ft statue of jain saint Gomateshwara carved out of single granite stone around 983 AD.
A father is teaching his young son to offer prayer to Lord gommateshwara.
I feel lucky to get this shot but I also feel bad because the crop is very tight as there was a gate and I didn’t want to include. Or I was not in a right position.
