Hoysala Architecture!

1.Govardhana Giridhari – Lord Krishna holding up Govardhana mountain to protect his village Gokula from the torrential rains caused by Lord Indra. The people and cattle can be seen seeking shelter beneath the mountain. The carvings are so intricate that one can see monkeys, hunters, tigers and a lizard in the mountain above Lord Krishna.

2.Lord Hoysaleshwara. Halebeedu temple is among the Hoysala temples where regular worship is held.

3.A play of light and shadow in the temple precincts carvings on the walls.
