Bahubali (Gommateshvara) is the son of Rishabhanatha (Adinath) and is the 2nd Tirthankar in Jain tradition. There isn’t a fixed historical date for his life in Jain scriptures; traditional chronology places him in the era of the first Tirthankar, but exact years aren’t uniformly given and vary by tradition.

What is commonly commemorated with concrete dates:

• The famous Gomateshvara statue at Shravanabelagola was consecrated in the 10th century CE (traditionally dated around 983 CE) and is a major Jain pilgrimage site.
• Mahamastakabhishek (the grand head-anointment) at Shravanabelagola is performed periodically, every 12 years. The most recent observed celebration was in 2018, and the next one is expected in 2030.

If you’d like, I can share more details about Bahubali’s key events (birth, renunciation, enlightenment, and the symbolism of his meditation) or explain how Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions describe his life differently.
