Belur And Halebid

Some of the most magnificent South Indian temples are those attributed to the Hoysala dynasty of Karnataka. The walls of the temples in Belur and Halebid are incredibly decorated, displaying various mythological stories like those of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The decoration in my holy opinion even beats the one in Hampi and is well worth visiting.

Equipment: Pentax *istD, Pentax AF16-45DA/4, Sigma AF50-500mm, f4-6.3 EX
