The 160 hidden panels do not form a continuous story, but each panel provides one complete illustration of cause and effect. There are depiction of blameworthy activities, from gossip to murder, with their corresponding punishments. There are also praiseworthy activities that include charity and pilgrimage to sanctuaries, and their subsequent rewards. The pains of hell and the pleasure of heaven are also illustrated. There are scenes of daily life, complete with the full panorama of samsara (the endless cycle of birth and death).
There 2,672 relief panels. I'm not sure if the panels shown on this page are relief panels from around the structure or one of the hidden panels mentioned above.
