Halebidu: The Unfinished Twin

Dummy post for theme development.

If Belur is about individual figures, Halebidu is about rhythm. The outer wall is wrapped in horizontal bands: elephants at the base, then lions, horsemen, scrolls, and finally scenes from the epics.

Reading the walls

Start at the eastern entrance and walk clockwise. Count the elephants if you have the patience; we gave up somewhere past two hundred.

Getting there

Halebidu is about 16 km from Belur and 30 km from Hassan. The road is good, and there are small eateries near the temple car park.
