The Konark Sun Temple (also spelled Konarak) is
a 13th-century Hindu temple dedicated to the sun god. The temple is known for the exquisite stone carvings that cover the entire structure which takes the form of a huge chariot for the sun god Surya, with 12 pairs of stone-carved wheels and a team of seven galloping
horses (only one of which survives intact).

The Konark Sun Temple is the most popular tourist destination in Orissa and has been a World Heritage Site since 1984. It is located in the village of Konark, which is 35km north of Puri on the coast of the Bay of Bengal.
