| Wall Decorations and Wall Images |
The photo above is that of a section of the wall of the temple. The wall is divided into two halves : the UPPER and the LOWER HALVES. The division is made through a CORNICE ornamented with beaded pendants and small KEERTIMUKHAS (ಕೀರ್ತಿಮುಖಗಳು) with a scroll band running above it. Above the scroll band is a row of turrets found on pilasters. Under the turrets may be noticed small figures of YAKSHAS (ಯಕ್ಷರು), and deities.
The lower part of the wall is sculptured with a row of large images, about 2' high. On their pedestals is generally a scroll band and above them are creeper TORANAS.
