Hi @sidMalakar200 ,

Thank you for sharing your post with us. Can you tell us a bit more about why it is called the Sun Temple? The photos you shared look amazing!

Keep in mind that I’m going to remove the Spanish language tag from your post as it is in English. Only posts written in a specific language should have the corresponding label. You can find more information in this article: How do I find posts in my preferred language?.

@InaS thank you so much for the appreciation. So, why this is called Sun Temple has long history also historian argues few reasons. One of them is the temple was built in 13th century and designed as the Chariot of SUN GOD, SURYA, with a twelve pairs of ornamented wheels pulled by seven horses. Also people says that this temple has no shadow during daytime which is not true actually.

Okay you can remove that language. I’m new here in the community. Learning things. :slightly_smiling_face:
