The
Sun temple Konark is the crowning glory of the temple
architecture, which flourished in the 13th century
Orissa. Tourists across the world travel to this
temple site in large number. Also known as the 'Black
Pagoda', the temple was built by Raja Narsimhadeva
of the Ganga dynasty, The temple is in the form
of a huge chariot, with 24 wheels. These wheels
are pulled by seven straining horses. The temple
has a three-tiered pyramidal roof topped off by
a fine spire. The chariot of the Sun God represents
the seven days of the week, and the 24 hours of
the day, in its concept. The impressive sculptures
of the temple makes the temple a wonder in stone.
No aspect of life has been untouched in the paintings
on the walls of the temple. The erotic imagery is
an indication of the sublimation of human love manifested
in countless forms. Added to this, there are scenes
from civic life, court and war executed with great
precision.Copyright ©2006-2007 CR License, LLC. All Right Reserved.
