Discover the majestic Shivagiri statue

At the heart of Vijayapura stands an astounding monument of devotion and architectural brilliance - the Shivagiri statue. At an impressive 85 feet, this impressive tribute to Lord Shiva stands as an eye-catching sight and makes an excellent place for spiritual enlightenment as well as an architectural marvel. Constructed by T.K. Patil Banakatti Charitable Trust this massive structure weighs 1,500 tonnes making it one of the three largest Lord Shiva statues on a global level.

A marvel of craftsmanship and devotion

What distinguishes the Shivagiri statue is its creation - with skilled sculptors from Shimoga dedicating 13 months of labour towards crafting its beauty, while architects from Bangalore added their expertise in designing it - both of which contributed immensely towards creating something truly breathtaking and soul-stirring.

A spiritual oasis

Shivagiri in Vijayapura offers visitors not only a stunning monument of faith but also the chance to connect more directly with God. Underneath this monumental statue lies a small Shivalinga that provides devotees a space where they can offer prayers and receive blessings from above.
