It is located 5 kms from city center. This is a very new temple and was constructed in 1988. It is inspired by architecture of the famous Konark Temple in Orissa.
The exterior of temple uses red stone while the interior uses white marble. There is a beautiful sculpture of Lord Surya in the temple. The carvings on the exterior of the temple depict various Hindu Gods and they have been carved beautifully.
Even though this temple is pretty new it attracts lot of visitors. The temple premises has a beautiful garden and is a nice place to relax.

Lovely architecture, but what captures my interest today is the sight of palm trees and sunny weather. An unbelievable sight after the long winter we are having here.;)

I hope that all these beautiful temples will be preserved for the future generations en never destroyed by religious fanatics. Thank you for your visit! You said I gave you a little insight in my life. Well in the sidebar my whole life is described from my birth to this time. I also mentioned the time that I was a prisoner in a Japanese concentration camp. I have written about it last year.
I wrote about my life on 24th March 2009. I also made a slide about my life.

When I saw this temple I thought it was one of the ancient one. It is great that the craft work and building skills does not get lost by constructing these beautiful temples which belong in this ancient land with all its traditions.
Wonderful as always, Rajesh. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Love the dramatic details in this temple! Beautiful series of photos!
You have so many beautiful temples in your part of the world. Beautiful shots.
It is nice to see such beauty rendered in our time, too!
Its amazing that this nice architecture is like brand new. Thanks for sharing nice place again. Anna :)
hi rajesh, i lost your blog link some time back...thankfully found you again through celin's blog i think....
lovely pics..and the carvings and art work remind me of konark temple, ill definitely make it a point to visit this temple if am ever in gwalior...
Fabulous architecture and amazing piece of history.
1988? I would have guessed much differently...that it was much older. It must be something to see in person with that red stone and white marble!
Your modern architects are clearly as talented and capable of intricate work as the ancient ones. Beautiful :)
Lovely...take me back to another time.
rajesh
these are beautifully sculptured . i am happy to see them
