It is a monumental representation of the sun God Surya’s chariot; its 24 wheels are decorated with symbolic designs and it is led by a team of six horses. It is a masterpiece of Odisha’s medieval architecture and one of India’s most famous Brahman sanctuaries. The Konark temple is widely known not only for its architectural grandeur but also for the intricacy and profusion of sculptural work. It marks the highest point of achievement of Kalinga architecture depicting the grace, the joy and the rhythm of life all its wondrous variety. The temple declared a world heritage by UNESCO was built in A.D. 1250, during the reign of the Eastern Ganga King Narasimhadeva-I (A.D. 1238-64). There are two rows of 12 wheels on each side of the Konark sun temple. Some say the wheels represent the 24 hours in a day and others say the 12 months. The seven horses are said to symbolize the seven days of the week. Sailors once called this Sun Temple of Konarak, the Black Pagoda because it was supposed to draw ships into the shore and cause shipwrecks. The Konark is the third link of Odisha’s Golden Triangle. The first link is Jagannath Puri and the second link is Bhubaneswar (Capital city of Odisha). This temple was also known as Black Pagoda due to its dark color and used as a navigational landmark by ancient sailors to Odisha.

    Konarak: the Eastern Heliopolis R.Balakrishnan

    Konarak: The Eastern Heliopolis R.Balakrishnan "Sol est remediorum maximum"— the sun is the best remedy. -Pliny Ancient India had a perfect understanding of the curative values and life supporting qualities of the sun. The Vedas glorify the sun in ecstatic terms. The Rgveda hails sun as a healing power, which cures Jaundice and improves eyesight. The Atharvavedic seers were aware of the disinfecting quality of sunlight for sun is invoked in a charm to kill the worms. The Isavasya Upanishad contains a special prayer offered to the sun by a dying man. The Prasnopanishad identifies the sun with prana (vital energy) and the Chhandogya Upanishad visualizes in him the face of God and makes him the center of the mystic meditation called Madhu-vidya. A special physical exercise called Surya-Namaskar, which is associated with the worship of the sun, has tremendous therapeutic value. Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, Romans and Greeks all worshipped the sun and thought of it as the source of life and health. Sunbathing as a health measure was practiced in ancient Greece, Egypt, Rome, Babylon, Assyria and Persia. The Egyptians, Babylonians and Assyrians had their therapeutic sun gardens. The Greeks had many solariums, which they called helioses. Heliopolis, a city in ancient Egypt, was famous for its sunlight healing temples. (Heliopolis is a Greek name, which means “city of the sun”). Ebers Papyrus prescribed heliotherapy (exposure to ultraviolet sunrays) for pain relief. Herodotus, the father of heliotherapy, held that exposure to the sun was highly necessary for convalescing persons. Philostratus claimed that Olympian athletes took sunbaths.
