The temple has pillars each is very different. Lets go out, to the Exterior of the Temple that is the 'Praakara', here we see more shilabalikes. Around 600+ hair styles are found. A Kannada proverb says, to see in and out and to understand all of these statues one need to settle down in Belur and spend there life time.

All these balikes have different ornament patterns, especially the belt sort of jewel worn by all these balikes has different hangings, hair styles, anklets, Ear rings, bangles are all so different and very unique amongst these vivid statues. All of these statues shed light on there time, way of living.
