This study aims to clarify the relations of the deities enshrined and their locations in the Hoysala temples. While the main deity is usually located at the west side of the navaranga to face the entrance at the east and other deities are located symmetrically at the sides of the navaranga, the deities are enshrined asymmetrically in some temples. It is conceived that the temple plan and the locations of the deities tend to be symmetrically composed in the Jain and the Vaisnava temples. Among the Saiva and the syncretic temples with Siva and Visnu, the main deity is located to the west and the entrance to the south.
