Nice historical place

Awesome its 1200 years old structure, while modern civil desighn cant lead than it

This 12th century temple is known for its stunning architecture. Comprising three separate, axially aligned and integrated elements — Surya Kund, Sabha Mandap and Guda Mandap — the temples peculiarity is that every summer solstice the first ray of the sun is said to shine on the Sun Gods idol (which has long been decimated by Mahmud Ghazni, but the idols place is still there). The interesting facet about the temple is the play of time — 52 pillars placed in a geometrical manner in the Sabha Mandap to signify the 52 weeks of the year, the goddesses of morning and evening, the division of seven sections for the days of the week and 365 elephants forming the base of the Sabha Mandap for each day of the year.....

Suntemple Modhera, Gujarat, IndiaMindboggling details on the walls and pillars of the Sun temple at Modhera. Built around the beginning of the 11th CE, this stunning temple is a stunning specimen of the Chalukya architecture and continues to amaze experts and tourists alike.

Excellent Architecture 👌🏻

Architectural view and their arts of curving design of temple is awesome

Nice historic temple.Build amazingly in that era of time.Authorities can keep it more clean.

Almost a thousand-year old structure in grandeur is a great heritage place to visit. Still under restoration. Water needs to be filtered in the pond.

Sadly in ruins.

One of best heritage sites of India. We all should maintain it properly.

The reservoir has steps to reach the bottom and numerous small shrines.

GeneralAs one traverses the length and breadth of Gujarat, one constantly stumbles across architectural legacies of the Solanki rule. You keep coming across, living spaces and monuments of another time, offering an eclectic glimpse of the artistic and ingenious beauty that makes this exotically state vibrant.A soothing drive amidst green farmlands just 35 km away from Mehsana on the way to the temples of goddess Bahucharaji reposes the village of Modhera. Set along the backdrop of River Pushpavati, surrounded by a terra-formed garden of flowering trees and songs of birds, rests the famed Sun temple of Modhera.

Heritage place
