KONARK TEMPLE
The Sun temple conceived as a massive chariot, hauling the Sun God across the heavens by the might of seven splendidly carved horses, standing aloft on 24 chariot wheels- intricately carved- symbolising the march of time, lies in partial ruins on Konark beach.
Battered by storms and seawinds,nibbled by salt and sand,the temple seems to be gradually returning to its source,like some majestic galleon that is slowly but surely slipping under the waves.To the west of the Sun temple lies the remains of the earlier structure,the 'Vaishnava' and the 'Mahadeva' temple.
