About Sun Temple: The Sun Temple of Konark, spelt by some as Konarak and sometimes called the “Black Pagoda” was built in approximately 1250 AD by King Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty. The word Konark is derived from the Sanskrit words, Kona (corner) and Arka (sun) which was dedicated to the Sun god Surya.

Constructed to honor the sun god, Sun Temple in Konark is designed as a representation of this deity’s horse-drawn chariot, complete with horses and giant wheels. The temple is conceived as a colossal chariot of the sun god Surya pulled by seven horses and twelve pairs of exquisitely carved wheels, carrying the god across heavens.
