Famous Temples in India

Architecture

The temple is the replica of the famous Sun Temple of Konark in Orissa. The temple is one of the architectural wonders and has a beautiful sculpture of Lord Surya in the temple premises. The temple building is created in the shape of chariot pulled by seven horses each one depicting seven days of the week. One can also see total 24 wheels representing the 24 hours of a day. There are total 365 idols of Gods around the temple for 365 days in a year. The contrasting color combination of the exteriors with the interiors of the temple is another fantastic feature. The exterior is built of red sandstone whereas the interiors are made of marble. This gives a more exotic look to the temple. The exteriors of the temple are also decorated with numerous stone carved images depicting various Hindu gods. The temple is located in a serene ambience and a well-maintained garden within the temple premises is very attractive. Here windows have been built in such a way that the sun rises the Sun's statue from the first ray of the sun to the last ray in the evening. The temple made in the reverse lotus style, has also been made in the shape of the sun mounted on the chariot.
