About the Book
The Sun Temple of Konarka, located on the East coast of Orissa, is a monumental testament to the cult of Surya, the Sun God. This book offers a fresh approach to understanding the symbolism embedded in the temple's architecture, shedding light on its profound religious and cultural significance.
Through an exploration of its design, iconography, and the spiritual meanings associated with the temple’s structure, the book delves into the intricacies of its symbolism, highlighting the connection between the Sun and the cosmos as reflected in the temple's grandeur. It also examines the temple’s role in the broader context of Indian architecture and the Surya cult, offering new insights into how ancient builders and priests integrated astronomical, religious, and artistic elements into this iconic monument.
