Hon’ble President of India and the First Lady of India Smt. Sa | मंदिर • Temple
Hon’ble President of India and the First Lady of India Smt. Savita Kovind visited the magnificent Sun Temple in Konark today.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the finest examples of temple architecture, complete with myriad expressions of the rich Kalinga culture.
Built in the 13th century by King Narasimha Deva I of the Eastern Ganga dynasty, the temple is conceived as the chariot of the Sun god. A blend of art and science, the Konark Sun Temple is a testimony of the artistic vigour, finesse and prosperity of Odisha in ancient times.
