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.
Impressive!
ReplyDeleteI feel that it has some similarities with Konark temple.

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.

ReplyDeletelovely 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.
ReplyDelete1988? 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!
ReplyDeleteYour modern architects are clearly as talented and capable of intricate work as the ancient ones. Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteLovely...take me back to another time.
