Modhera sun Temple
The Modhera Sun Temple is a stunning Hindu temple dedicated to Surya, the Sun God, located in Modhera, Mehsana district, Gujarat. Built in 1026-27 CE during the reign of Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty, the temple is an architectural masterpiece of Māru-Gurjara style.
The temple complex consists of three main structures:
- Gudhamandapa – The shrine hall.
- Sabhamandapa – The assembly hall with intricately carved pillars.
- Suryakund – A stepped reservoir with numerous small shrines.
The temple was designed so that the first rays of the sun would illuminate the deity inside during equinoxes. Though no worship is performed today, it remains a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India.
