The next temple on our itinerary was the Hoysaleswara temple near Holebad. It is the predecessor in plan to the temple at Somnathpur, so it shares many similarities.

| You can see how the wall fold back upon themselves generating many sides and niches to decorate. |
 |
| Figures of the gods (and goddesses) right above the bands of friezes at the base of the temple. |
 |
| Again the friezes tell the stories of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. This is Shiva holding up the mountain to shelter mankind. |
 |
| This is probably my favorite Nandi Bull of the trip. |
 |
| Nandi is quite a fancy fellow. |
