After a fulfilling day of sightseeing, enjoy a quiet evening in the town before returning to your hotel for a comfortable night stay.
- Gommateshwara Statue: This 57-foot tall monolithic statue of Bahubali is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Jainism. Carved from a single block of granite, it stands atop the Vindhyagiri hill and is visible from miles away. The statue symbolizes peace, non-violence, and the sacrifice of worldly affairs, attracting thousands of devotees and tourists annually.
- Vindhyagiri Hill: This hill serves as the primary site for the famous Gommateshwara statue and features various Jain Basadis or temples. Climbing the nearly 700 steps provides a panoramic view of the surrounding town and the twin hill, Chandragiri. It is a significant site for the Mahamastakabhisheka festival held once every 12 years.
- Odegal Basadi: Located on the Vindhyagiri hill, this unique temple is known for its impressive architecture and the Tirthankara images housed within. It is called Odegal because of the stone pillars used to support the foundation of the structure. The site offers a serene atmosphere for meditation and reflects the medieval Dravidian style of temple construction.

After a nutritious breakfast at the hotel, proceed for the remaining sightseeing attractions in the area. Today focus on the historical narratives etched in the stones of the twin hill.

This hill is famously associated with Chandragupta Maurya, the great emperor who spent his last days here as a Jain monk. The hill houses the Chandragupta Basadi and several intricately carved inscriptions that date back centuries.
- Akkana Basadi: This beautiful temple was built in 1181 AD by a devout Jain lady named Achiyakka, wife of a Hoysala minister. It is a fine example of Hoysala architecture, featuring soapstone carvings and detailed sculptures of Jain Tirthankaras. The temple is dedicated to Lord Parshwanatha and is recognized for its artistic elegance and historical significance.
