Hassan: Devotees, who miss the Mahamastakabhisheka of the world’s largest monolithic statue of Bahubali at the Jain pilgrimage centre of Shravanabelagola in Hassan between February 17 and 25, don't need to despair as they will be able to see it replicated every Sunday at the spot till August 2018.
Those who miss the event, will have another chance to catch the spectacle every Sunday thereafter, according to Mr Ashok Kumar, a senior journalist attached to the Shravanabelagola Jain Mutt. Preparations are for the ceremony with the PWD beginning to install a scaffolding near the statue for the head anointing ceremony. It hopes to have it ready by December.
