Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: A view of the plinth of the temple and wall friezes. The plinth is built in the shape of Sri Chakra (Star shape), a characteristic feature of the Hoysala architecture. There are eight friezes on the temple walls. Each carries an array of decorations. The lowest frieze depicts charging elephants, which symbolize strength and stability. Above them, in order, are friezes with lions, which symbolize courage, floral scrolls as decoration, horses for speed, another band of floral scrolls, depiction of Hindu epics, Makara (beasts) and finally a frieze with hamsas (swans). No two animals are alike in a total frieze span of over 200 m.
