Try guessing this one. I don't think many would have visited this place but am sure would have read about it.

Isn't that Mahabali statue at Sravanbelagola?

BTW, yeah that's Goa, I'm not sure if it's called St. Valentine but this is at Dona-Paula.

harishnayak · 8th September 2009, 16:15

no its not.
Hint - This is in Karnataka

Well it is Mahabali's statue also known as Gomateshwara but this one is not in Sravanbelagola.

HINT 2 - Its about 50kms from Mangalore. This picture is from the other side - which means im face to face with Mahabali and the city/district is behind me.
