I consider the statue should be one of the Seven Wonder of the World is the Gommateshvara Bahubali Statue in Shravanbelagola in the Hassan district of Karnataka State, India. It is a sacred place of pilgrimage to Jains. When one stands at its foot and looks up, one sees it against the vast sky. The statue with human form was created 983 A.C; it's shown completely nude, in the Jain custom. It's carved out of a single block of granite and stands majestically on top of a hill. It is 17 m. (55 ft) high and it's visible from a distance of 30 km. It was created by Chavundaraya, a minister of the Ganga King, Rachamalla. The creation of the statue is about the supreme meditation that a human being can have, inspired on a big fight Bahubali had with his brother Bharata for the power of the kingdom. After several battles between Bahubali and his brother, he won and contemplated that he was unhappy. That takes to Bahubali decided to give up his kingdom to his brother and take up the ascetic life. The Bahubali statue must be a wonder of the world, because it symbolizes the ideal man who conquers selfishness, jealousy, pride and anger. That statue can extrapolated to any man of the world, which means any person can just keep the example of Bahubali and find the supreme peace. Finally, the Bahubali statue is the perfect reflect of Indian architecture, which is based in the religion and culture of that country. Anyone who goes to India and don't visit the statue, it's like a vain trip. It leaves to the thousands of visitants most serenity when they look the face of Bahubali. What human being doesn't want that sensation? So why not make it become a wonder of the world? =
