India is a country that treats nature as God. Everything is considered holy. From Trees, animals, water, to even the mighty sun. One such representation is the Konark Sun temple which has been built in the 13th century. This temple is dedicated to the Hindu God Surya Deva. This temple is located in the state of Odisha spread over an area of 26.2 acres. It is one of the most beautiful ancient Odisha styles of architecture also called the Kalinga architecture. It is built in the form of a chariot of the main deity which is 30 m high which is all carved from the same stone. This reminds of how majestic our ancestors were and it also depicts their immense knowledge centuries ago. The entire architecture is a treasure of our heritage and it looks mighty. The walls of the temple are sculpted in the most marvellous way which shows a lot of history about the Indian scriptures. There is an architectural marvel associated to it which is that the first rays of sunrise from the east strike the main entrance. And hence there is no wonder in knowing that it is a world heritage site announced by UNESCO. So this is how you can start your tour but witnessing the heavenly sunrise. It is one of the best places to be at to get to know our own culture and traditions better. It is one of the most divine places, an architectural marvel which is a must visit. You can hereby spend your day visiting the sites nearby.
Another notable place that you can visit is the Chandrabhaga beach after visiting the Konark temple during the sunset so that you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the sun setting down. It is one of the most soothing and relaxing places to be at. It is one of the calming and sere experiences that one could get and there can’t be a better way to end an evening.
