The Chariot of Stone

Against the timeless rays of sun Cascading eternity from heaven A humble majesty, royally perched Unfurling twenty four seven "Sun Temple of Konark" A tribute to the ancient artistry, gracefully weaving together art, culture, and beliefs. A colossal ruin, the grandest culmination of a 700-year evolution built with the strength of titans and finished with the precision of jewellers, the Sun Temple of Konark was once considered the terrestrial dwelling of the deity and a representation of the cosmos. Sunbeams dancing upon the walls, it has the embellishment of expansive halls with intricate designs, illuminating the stories of the past. The temple, a stone chariot, stands tall with twelve wheels run by seven horses lithely carved. The inert stone is sculpted into a vision of magnificence by the exterior's lavish carvings. Erotic sculptures of damsels flaunt their voluptuous constitution. In them dwell musicians, dancers, and figurines of love in both sublime and sensual forms, and many other themes touching and tantalizing the visitor’s gaze.
