 The
magnificent Sun Temple at Konark is the culmination of Orissan temple
architecture, and one of the most stunning monuments of religious
architecture in the world. The poet Rabindranath Tagore said of Konark
that 'here the language of stone surpasses the language of man', and it
is true that the experience of Konark is impossible to translate into
words.The massive structure, now in ruins, sits in solitary splendour surrounded by drifting sand. Today it is located two kilometers from the sea, but originally the ocean came almost up to its base. Until fairly recent times, in fact, the temple was close enough to the shore to be used as a navigational point by European sailors, who referred to it as the 'Black Pagoda'.
