About Adiyogi — The 112-Foot Face at Chikkaballapur
The Adiyogi statue at Isha Foundation, Avalagurki, Chikkaballapur is a 112-foot face of Adiyogi — the first yogi — designed by Sadhguru and recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's largest bust sculpture. Set against the Nandi Hills backdrop, the campus also houses the Linga Bhairavi shrine. Unlike the more popular Coimbatore Adiyogi, this Chikkaballapur campus is just 65 km from Bangalore and far less crowded — making it ideal for a peaceful half-day or full-day visit. The 7:15 PM light and sound show is a highlight not to be missed.
