Guardian lion of Konark
Konark is a UN world heritage monument. This temple of the Hindu Sun God Surya is architected as a chariot on which Surya rides across the zenith. The intricately carved wheels have come to symbolize India. The temple walls are adorned with fine sculpture that attest the "busy" minds of its creators.
