Sun temple Modhera, Gujarat, India. - a photo on Flickriver

            The Sun Temple, Modhera, at Modhera in Gujarat, is a temple dedicated to the Hindu Sun-God, Surya. It was built in 1026 AD by King Bhimdev of the Solanki dynasty. The sculptures and architecture present in this temple are still magnificent after all these years.               The temple comprises three separate, axially aligned and integrated elements: Surya Kund, Sabha Mandap and Guda Mandap. It is built on Tropic of Cancer and hence receives sunrays directly on the deity on the Solstice days. This photo shows the Surya Kund and Sabha Mandap.
