Hello hive community.

I hope you all have a great time. I am also having fun. Today I am sharing my third post with you. For today's post I chose to post on pinmapple as today's topic was to review a beautiful and mythological temple. I visited this temple some time ago but today I am sharing the information about this temple in detail with you. This is a holy place and the name of this place is the famous Sun Temple of Modhera.

This sun temple is located in Modhera village in Mehsana district of Gujarat state. This temple comes under the supervision of Archeology Department. To enter this temple if you are an Indian then you have to pay Rs 25 for the ticket and if you are a foreigner coming from outside India then you have to pay Rs 300. There is a door next to the ticket window to enter. There is a 300 meter walk along the entrance. There is a beautiful garden on both side of that road. I did not have photographs of that garden so I could not share them with you here.


![IMG20221223151810 4.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pranavgtd/23xAg4i4tETyQ5Tq7wBJMc7MMH2RhWKADayeuzPrs3AdNaTYHwNQbEJ23mCV5jSidb2NE.jpg)


And yes there is a board written in Hindi near the entrance. On which the mythological history related to the temple is written. As you walk along the road, you will see the famous Sun Temple. Looking at this sun temple you will feel peace. Look near this sun temple and you will see it divided into 2 parts. Thus, if we go to see, there are two different temples. Amazing carvings have been done on the walls of this temple. Beautiful carvings are done on all the walls and all the pillars of this temple. In which one can see the dancing photographs of the deities. Then you will find carvings of the deity resting on a sheela.


![IMG20221223151228 5.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pranavgtd/23uFY9ywUMi6kY18wv8ig3wBLyVsh6e4mhDmdhEoxJE1SjJJJJQpw1MN24NJJ4zEWrXbb.jpg)

There are 2 major Sun Temples in India. The Sun Temple of Kornak in the Odisha state of India is the first while the Sun Temple of Modhera in the Gujarat state comes in the second place. There is also a valid reason why this place is called the Sun Temple. The structure of this temple is such that when the sun rises, the first ray of the sun illuminates the sanctum sanctorum of this temple. Due to this style of construction, it is known as Sun Temple. Another feature of this temple is that it is made of stone. Thus lime is not used anywhere.


![7.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pranavgtd/23uFaXpmiiPRfksE3VFAxDa32sSVdgCfGSMXoSBp8DN8vJAiKmcyPGsRjQvhN2DhWejYp.jpeg)


![8.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pranavgtd/23s9Qzk29NPCy2aHxR62ymVvBM9CdVa69qAUFThE7gPj7Bbm5efkfCUzPtrddzALdsSP2.jpeg)


If you go out of this temple, there is a big tank on the opposite side. This Kund has 2 names one is known as Surya Kund and the other name is also known as Ram Kund. So this is not a tank but a structure like a vav as steps are made to go down. There are steps all around which disappear into the water. There are about 101 small temples in between these steps. In which various deities are seated.


![9.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pranavgtd/23vsNU3JuvbfSwD1uMZJ8w7gKaRtU7EUyikqHdg4RRD9YekpBbeDayH99k7JQQheuvbR6.jpeg)

![12.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pranavgtd/23yd8J9357CgvRzcRNVJ1zxZgr74NxanTnq4Q79UGjiFSJmpveE678eXn9SZWqWNjRCJL.jpeg)




This temple was built in the year 1025 CE. The founder of this temple was Sri Bhimdev Solanki Pratham, the great king of the Solanki dynasty. When Alauddin Khilji attacked this temple, it caused a lot of damage to this temple. He destroyed the statue of every goddess in this temple. Another feature of this temple is that it has come to my mind that it looks different from every side.

Adjacent to this Sun Temple is a small temple of Lord Shankar. Lord Shankar is also worshiped in this temple. I have also shared the photographs of that mandi with you here.

I hope you will like my post for sure I didn't get any good response in my first post but I hope you will like my post and you will give me good response in this post.

Thank you very much hive community.
