Wellness, books, and unhurried time

Good to know
For Solo Travellers questions
What is the Modhera Sun Temple?
It is a masterpiece of Solanki-era architecture built around 1026 to 27 CE, dedicated to the sun god Surya. It has three parts, the Surya Kund stepped tank, the Sabha Mandap hall, and the main sanctum, richly carved in the Māru-Gurjara style.
Can I still worship at the temple?
No. The Sun Temple is now a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India and no longer has active worship. It is visited for its architecture, history, and sculpture rather than as a functioning shrine.
Is the sun really aligned with the temple?
The temple was designed so that at the equinoxes the rising sun would illuminate the inner sanctum, reflecting its dedication to Surya, one of the most striking features of its astronomy-minded design.
