The Sun Temple at Konark is a colossal structure. It testifies the fact that Orissa has touched the point of zenith in architecture by thirteenth century AD. Konark tells an excellent tale of life and passion for life in the language of stones arranged in wonderful mathematical symmetry. Hammers and chisels have acted upon stones in order to interpret art of eroticism as a sequel to which beautiful verses have been composed by the most talented architects of India who have long been put into oblivion for reasons not unveiled even today.
