Maurya empire: Carved stone screens on Chandragiri hill in Shravanabelagola illustrate the migration and final days of King Chandragupta Maurya and his guru. Famous for its monolithic statue of Gomateshwara, the serene town of Shravanabelagola is dotted with two hills, the larger Vindhyagiri (Doddabetta) and the smaller Chandragiri (Chikkabetta)..The latter owes its name to King Chandragupta Maurya, who is believed to have a spiritual connection with the place. .
