Located in Orissa just outside of the city of Puri, Konark Sun Temple is
known to be a “medieval masterpiece” that symbolizes the wealthy
architectural heritage of the culture of India from this time period.
Created mostly from intricately hand sculpted segments and pieces, the
temple was built complete with 24 wheels (each having around 10 feet in
diameter), and complete of elaborate details like the spokes. The
temple’s entrance is guarded by two fearsome lions, there are 7 horses
which pull the chariot, and rearing elephants welcome travelers and
tourists to the primary steps that lead to this temple.
