The only Sun Temple in the world..

SUN TEMPLE


The word Konarka - Kona means corner and arka means Sun god. Sun god is also known by following names - Arka, Bhanu, Udaya, Surya, Aditya, Bhaskara, Heramba, Sapthasapthi, Mithra are all names of sun. 
Konark temple is located in the village of Konarka, adjacent to the bay of Bengal at a distance of 35 kilometres north of the entire city. It was constructed in 12th century, by King Narsimhadev 1 of Ganga Empire.From all over the country 1200 experts were chosen, who worked hard for 12 years and completed work. Modern science claims that this temple was built in 13 th century, but the Vedas give lots of evidences that this ancient temple is much older. Some reliable sources say that this temple was made by Lord Krishna's son Saamb.
A Chinese Buddhist traveller hiue-stang also reffer in their book about Konark. Based on his book the city of Konarka was very prosperous in the 7th century itself. It is believed that the sun temple was originally built on the sea shore, but as time passed due to some natural reasons the sea receded and the temple is now a few kilometres away from the sea shore.
There is the beautiful curving of sun god made in red sandstone at Konark temple. Beautiful curvings can be seen in the walls of the temple, which describes different situations. The temple is shown as a symbol of the sun god time period. The 24 wheels of the temple represents 24 hours of the day, 12  diameter " which is pulled by horses" represents 12 months of the year, 8 spokes represents the day cycle and 7 horses represents 7 days of the week.
Friends if you are thinking Konarka temple is just an temple then you are wrong. You will be surprised to know that this temple has been created on a scientific basis and everything in this temple has been made with scientific reasons. Every pillar of the temple wall is surrounded by iron plates, where each iron plate seperates one pillar from the other. The magnets have been placed " with variable flux and magnetic intensity" on the major nodes of the temple. When the statue of sun god was installed in the centre in these circumstances, then the idols here used to float in the ear due to the magnetic effect. Every day the rays of the sun would reach the temple from the shore, and create a reflection in the diamond placed in the centre of the statue.
