The Konark Temple or the Sun Temple in Puri was built in 1250 CE by King Narasingha deva I of Eastern Ganga Dynasty. It is in the shape of a giant charity having 24 wheels and 7 horses. It is said once the temple was more than 200 feet high, but now it appears to be just half of it. It is under UNESCO's World Heritage Site list.
