Konark
Konark, famous worldwide for its iconic Sun Temple, is a treasure trove of ancient art and architecture on Odisha’s eastern coast. Built in the 13th century, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sun Temple is shaped like a colossal chariot dedicated to the Sun God, with intricately carved stone wheels, pillars, and sculptures that showcase the grandeur of Odishan craftsmanship. Nearby, the pristine Chandrabhaga Beach adds a serene touch to Konark’s historic charm, especially during sunrise. Known for the annual Konark Dance Festival, which celebrates classical Indian dance against the temple’s backdrop, Konark offers an unforgettable journey into Odisha’s cultural and architectural marvels.
