Modhera Sun Temple

About Modhera Sun Temple

Located in Gujarat, the Modhera Sun Temple is a stunning 11th-century shrine dedicated to Surya, the Sun God. The temple is a brilliant example of Solanki architecture with intricately carved pillars, sculptures, and the beautiful Surya Kund (stepped tank).

The temple is aligned in such a way that the first rays of the sun illuminate the sanctum during equinoxes. It stands as a testament to India's astronomical and architectural brilliance.
