Hoysaleswara Temple
Hoysaleswara Temple, Hindu temple in Halebidu, India
The Hoysaleswara Temple features two main shrines constructed from soapstone, with walls adorned by 340 large stone reliefs depicting Hindu deities and mythology.
The temple construction started in 1121 CE during the Hoysala Empire reign and reached completion in 1160 CE, marking the pinnacle of architectural innovation.
Eight rows of stone friezes on the temple base display elephants, lions, horses, and detailed scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavad Gita epics.
