Magical Mystical Night : Classical Dance invoking Sun God

            This classical dance festival is held annually at Sun Temple at Modhera, in Gujarat- a temple dedicated to the Hindu Sun-God, Surya. At night the lighting made this temple look extremely attractive. 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 Sabha Mandap.
