- Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, India. Ancient ruin statue of Konark Sun temple. Erotism and origin of kamasutra in Indian sculpture. Erotic sculpture of Konark temple. Konark Sun Temple is a 13th-century CE sun temple at Konark about 35 kilometres 22 mi northeast from Puri on the coastline of Odisha, India. The temple is attributed to king Narasingha deva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty about 1250 CE. Konark Sun Temple also known as the Black Pagoda ia a 13th-century Sun Temple at Konark, in Orissa.The entire temple has been conceived as a chariot of the sun god with 24 wheels, dragged by 7 horses. Dedicated to the Hindu sun god Surya, what remains of the temple complex has the appearance of a 100-foot high chariot with immense wheels and horses, all carved from stone. Once over 200 feet high, much of the temple is now in ruins, in particular the large shikara tower over the sanctuary; at one time this rose much higher than the mandapa that remains. The structures and elements that have survived are famed for their intricate artwork, iconography, and themes, including erotic kama and mithuna scenes. Also called the Surya Devalaya, it is a classic illustration of the Odisha style of Architecture or Kalinga Architecture.
