"The temple of Hoysaleshwara
at Halebid, South India; with the exuberance of its sculrtural art is said
to be one of the most remarkable monuments ever produced by the hand of
man. As one walks around the temple the carved wall begin to appear as
a voluminous illuminated scroll unroll before one's eyes. On them is portrayed
the whole world of Indra's heaven carved in infinite detail"
