Talk about the Konark Sun Temple, it is mentioned in the period 1236-1234 BC to be built by Raja Nrusinhdev of Gang Dynasty and local stories are also prevalent in this regard which holds historical significance on a slightly different basis. The main thing is that this temple built in Kalinga style has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984, so let's talk about Konark Sun Temple history.

The temple of Konark is made of black granite and red sandstone, and this temple is famous not only because of the creation of God in the form of a chariot of the sun god, but also because of its sensual erotic idols. Although now this temple and lots of it have been damaged, but still it is the center of attraction and if there is talk of the reasons for the temple being in bad condition, then there are two reasons, one is the Muslim invasion and the other temple is bad Architecture | The two pavilions of Konark Sun Temple, which were built in three pavilions, have collapsed and the third which was left in the Pavilion, the British who had stuck sand and stones in their time, stopped the place permanently so that it could Could not be damaged more.

If more talk about the temple, the most important thing is that there are two horses in the southern part of the temple, which the Orissa government has chosen as their principled sign and two elephants have been shown on the entrance to the defensive posture. Along with this, interesting thing about temple is that this temple shows the sun about the sun and displays its splendor. On its entrance there is the Nat Mandir which is called that place; Dancers performing dancing in the temple used to dance to God. Some idols and shapes are also worth seeing which is taken from Kama Sutra. The great poet Rabindranath Tagore says about this temple "Konark Sun Temple is such a place that the language of stones is better than the language of the people."

Now if you talk about the name of the temple then Konark is composed of words, 'angles' and 'extracts'. In which the extracts mean the sun and the angle it means to be used by many knowledgeable corners or shores. The Konark Sun Temple temple is situated close to the coast on the north eastern shore of Puri in Orissa. Although this temple is now in a bad state and historians say that the main reason for this to happen is to be contrary to the architecture of the temple construction. Basically there is a defect in the temple's architecture due to which the temple collapsed in its first 800 years, while many historical buildings of its time or earlier have been in good condition. In addition to the destruction of the temple, the attacks in 1508 are also due to the destruction of many Hindu temples of Orissa. During 1568, because Orissa had come under Muslim control, at the same time, the Pundas of the Sun Temple, in some way, removed the statue of the chief deity and kept it hidden in the sand for years. Later, this idol was sent to Puri and placed there in the temple of Indra, situated in the courtyard of the Jagannath temple. One opinion also says that the statue of Sun God, which is kept in the National Museum of New Delhi, is the principal idol of Konark. By the end of the eighteenth century, under the circumstances of some kind, Konark lost all its splendor, and now this place is known as a tourism place.
