Aruna Stambha
The Aruna Stambha, also known as the Sun Pillar, is a magnificent sixteen-sided monolithic chlorite stone pillar standing in front of the Singhdwara (Lion Gateway) of the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha. The pillar is about 34 feet tall and features an elegant statue of Aruna, the charioteer of the Sun God, on top.
The Aruna Stambha was originally erected in the 13th century at the Sun Temple in Konark by King Langula Narsingha Deva. It was later moved to Puri in the 18th century by the Maratha Guru Brahmachari Gosain during the reign of King Divyasingha Deva.
The base of the pillar is intricately carved with military scenes and other figures, while the capital is adorned with a series of lotus petals. The pillar is a significant landmark and is worshipped by devotees with great reverence.
