It took 14 months for the National Award-winning architect Ashok Gudigar to carve a 41-ft marvel out of a single block of granite weighing about 400 tonnes.
Shri Kund Kund Kahan Digambar Jain Swadhyay Mandir Trust in Gujarat planned to build the giant idol of Bahubali. After hunting for a stone for about two years, they finally found one here and started working on it.
