KONARK SUN TEMPLE • Konark, also known as Arka-Tirtha, is situated at 34 km north of Puri, on the smooth East Coast Road named Marine Drive. Konark, which derives its name from Konarka (presiding deity of the Sun temple), is actually an amalgamation of Kona (corner) and Arka (sun), meaning sun around the corner. The magnificent Sun Temple here is without doubt the paragon of Oriyan architecture. Although the Black Pagoda is partly in ruins, its colossal size and intricate stone artwork, executed with masterly touch and depicting a huge diversity of themes, simply takes one's breath away.
