Konark is a small settlement near Chandrabhaga beach in Puri
district of Orissa. The magnificent Sun temple was built by King Narasimhadeva
in the thirteenth century, made in the form of colossal chariot of Sun God. It
is also known as Black-pagoda.

The Temple
is built on a huge platform in the shape of chariot with twelve pair of wheels
and seven horses pulling it. The temple compound is maintained nicely and looks
beautiful.
I visited the place with my friends Pradeep and Satish and
we were fascinated by the structural grandeur of this temple. The beautifully
carved wheels of the temple add to the beauty and we utilized every possible
opportunity to capture the beauty which is to be seen to believe.

The temple compound houses so many structures like sculptor
of elephants, horses, & monsters to
name a few.
Despite being a famous tourist spot, konark is peaceful and
serene place, the Chandrabhaga beach which is about 2 kilometers from the
temple is also very clean and beautiful.
