Sun TempleModhera Sun Temple, one of the most stunning examples of Hindu architecture in India. The temple was built in the 11th century during the reign of King Bhimdev I of the Solanki dynasty. Your guide will provide you with insights into the history and significance of the temple as you explore its intricate carvings and stunning architecture. As you enter the temple complex, you'll be greeted by a large stepwell known as the Surya Kund, which was built to store water for the temple. The stepwell is adorned with over 1000 sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses, as well as animals and celestial beings. The sculptures are intricately carved and represent the high level of craftsmanship that was present during the Solanki era. At the center of the complex is the main temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu sun god, Surya. The temple is designed in such a way that during the equinoxes, the first rays of the rising sun illuminate the idol of Surya in the sanctum sanctorum.
