 According to Foekema and other art historians, the quality and quantity of the epics-related "friezes are amazing", but the panel series do not complete the story in a stretch, rather after a stretch, another text is intermingled in for a while.The outer walls of the Hoysaleswara temple shrines feature 340 large reliefs.The friezes and wall images on the outer wall predominantly narrate the "Ramayana", the "Mahabharata", the "Bhagavata Purana", the other major Shaiva and Vaishnava Puranas.
