Almost the whole world knows about the 57 feet monolithic statue of Bhagwan Bahubali at Shravanabelagola. Once in every 12 years, the Mahamastakabhisheka ceremony is watched by lakhs of devotees. Inscriptions on the base of the statue reveal that a general, Chamundaraya, was the brain behind the construction of the imposing statue. But the irony is that we have no idea who the master artist was. He and his associates toiled to build the Bahubali statue over a thousand years ago.
