Konark: The Black Pagoda

---|---|
Description | Konark lies on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. The temple is in a form of huge stone chariot designed like a mighty temple cart being pulled across the sky. As the sun measures time, the temple’s symbolism incorporates the same theme. The twelve wheels represents the month of the year, and its sixteen spokes the time of the day. Even today, Konarak stands in somber dignity as a representative of the thousands of artisans who worked on it for 16 long years. |
