Informations supplémentaires

The large structure of the Konark Sun Temple. It is a 13th-century Sun Temple (also known as the Black Pagoda), at Konark. The entire complex was designed in the form of the god's huge chariot drawn by seven spirited horses on twelve pairs of exquisitely decorated wheels at its base. The huge wheels carved at the base of the temple are one of the major attractions. The spokes of the wheels serve as sun dials and the shadows cast by these can give the precise time of the day. In this image is a carving near one of the 24 wheels. The name Konark is derived from the Sanskrit words Kona(corner) and Arka(sun) in reference to the temple which was dedicated to the Sun god Surya. Orissa State, India.
