First of all you should definitely visit Shravanabelgola. It is a wonderful place. I am not a believer in what a religion preaches because most religions preach a multitude of things that may be contradictory. My photos are not of good quality but if you like you should Google for "photos of shravanabelgola" and you will see some very good pictures. Welcome Pooja.
