Great Architecture, carvings & sculptures 👌.Real world heritage Monument.Visited on rainy 🌧 day.Best place to visit in orissa.They have some entry fee. Cards / cash both accepted at the counter to buy entry token. Parkings & restaurants available outside opposite to this monument.

The best of best in architecture. Very pleasant place to visit and a best tourism point. The laser show after the visiting hours is the greatest attraction for the temple. *MUST WATCH* Has a great view of the sun chariot and a great display under lights. Has parking place around the temple and is ample for many cars. Also has nearby cottages for night stays.

Loved the place. Popularly known as Black Pagoda. It is an architectural masterpiece. We must visit this place at least once. This temple is dedicated to God Son and his wives though many major structures are destroyed and some weathered with time yet many parts are well preserved and maintained by Government. This place will remind of India's glorious history and the talent it had from ancient times. This temple is in a chariot shape with 12 wheels in total with extra ordinary carvings and fine work. This chariot wheel was used to know the time ⌚in ancient times and this is not any myth you can see this yourself, the guides there will explain the process. This signifies how well we were aware of scientific use of material things from ancient times. Overall this place is a must visit place.

Sun temple is amazing, I visited recently in January 2024 and visited 20 years back.. The temple has its own history of creations and demolition by Britishers. There's is tickets to charge nominal charges not sure for Foreign tourists. Better to hire guide to know the history well about it but should not pay more then 400-500 as per your group. Approx visiting time 1-2 hour , you will complete the whole walk around in Max 2 hours. Shopping is interesting on the way but do negotiation at the best. Got to know may be renovation will start soon and temple will be open again.

A very nice place to visit in Odisha. It's a historical temple built a long time ago. A very well maintained place. the vice is magnificent and the curving details are just mind blowing. Most recommended place if you haven't visited already.

The temple is worth a visit and is under restructuring. Situated near the coastline it also gives an opportunity for people if they want to go here and pay a visit to enjoy the sea too(the sea is almost 1 km) away. If you want good food please visit the restaurant just opposite to the temple under Indian oil campus.

The Konark Sun Temple amazes with its remarkable architecture, boasting intricate carvings and exceptional craftsmanship. Its design depicts a chariot dedicated to the sun deity, Surya - truly breathtaking! The sculptures that adorn it relate stories of mythical events as well as historical ones; providing an insightful glimpse into India's vast cultural heritage. Yet further maintenance may be necessary in order to ensure this site retains its invaluable historic importance for future generations. All things considered, enthusiasts of history and art should certainly visit this awe-inspiring temple without fail!

An amazing place with wonderful architect. You will surely love the beauty of this place. The ambience will take you to the good ancient times. One has to take ticket to enter into the Sun Temple. Ticket can be taken from the ticket counter. Sometimes usually on Sundays, there is a long queue so in that case i will suggest to take the ticket online to avoid the long queue also the online ticket is relatively cheaper than offline ticket.

One of the best place to witness the pinnacle of odisha art and medieval Indian art in general. Though everything is written, guide is needed for first time visitors. Inscription arts are second to none, deeply rooted in Indian way of life of that time. The famed wheels and many more objects are worth seeing in one's life. Due to structural issue going up in the monuments are prohibited except the first one, which was dedicated to dance and music.

Great temple Great layout n garden Badly managed premise Very shoddy maintenance They are earning huge via tickets but not spending enough to maintain. Dustbins and garbage all around Gate and surroundings not clean More seating is needed Its a global Heritage, need more international quality standards

No need to explain about this place it is worth visiting. One suggest try to understand the architecture and enjoy the stone art , don't just spend all your time by taking photos, else it will be just a tourist place for you. Spend some time to enjoy the stone art , sculpture and temple view. I think best time to visit will be after 4 pm or morning time.

An UNESCO World Heritage site, the Sun temple is dedicated to God Surya. When we visited the temple, there was long queue for entry ticket. We hired a local guide for an hour tour at Rs. 350, who bought the tickets for us. Lots of history associated with this temple, which is nice to learn. The temple has an expansive and clean premise. The temple complex has the appearance of a 100-foot high chariot with immense wheels and horses, all carved from stone. Most part of the temple is now in ruins condition. It is good to see that Archaeological Survey of India is trying hard to maintain and restored the damaged portion of the temple. Entry to temple is closed since long and presently even access to temple stairs is closed to avoid further damage of the temple. The structures and elements that have survived are famous for their intricate artwork, iconography and themes. A must visit to learn the history and witnessing the ancient artwork.

Every thing is good must visited evening night show

Wow what a beauty and what a site. Simply marvellous 🤩 I felt like sculptures are taking and every single sculpture is telling stories Ticket price is ₹40/person I must recommend don’t think about money do hire guide if you are going there for the the 1st time as he will tell you complete history about history of the Konark temple and about three sides of temple 🛕- 24 wheels of rath etc etc so do hire guide if you are going there for the 1st time As It was raining so I could not see the light and sound show but it is of rs 50 so I recommend

You can really enjoy here. You can purchase many handcraft gifts and they are really beautiful not in the temple but outside of the temple there is a market where you can buy these stuff plus try to take a round of the temple from the boundary.

A great architecture from ancient India. Beautiful art work. Every art work has it's own meaning.

Konark Sun Temple maintained by Archaeological Survey of India.

Good place for a photoshoot There is no God and beautiful architecture. You need to pay 40/- RS ticket for entrance and they provide coins to scan an umbrella available for 20-30/- rs rent . The day we visited was completely raining and was a different experience getting wet in the rain.

It's a beautiful temple with amazing stories associated with it. One should definitely visit Konark while visiting Puri or bhubaneshwar. I would recommend taking a guide along, not only for the purpose of knowledge but also for great spots of photos that they know of.

If you are going to Orissa then Sun temple is a place,you must go.You will be amazed to see the temple.You will be compelled to think about it's construction process.Its also an example that how modern we were in our old days.It will take you around 2 hours to visit it completely.

P:S-Do add this to your list if you are coming to Orissa.

The place is a MUST visit. Have good 1 hr in hand to enjoy the place to its fullest. You will enjoy the architecture and sculptors on the walls.

A picturesque work of art. The temple in itself is grand and there’s a lot to see on the walls itself. Would highly recommend going there during evening for awesome photos and laser show. The Indian Oil museum near the temple is a must visit for the 30 minute video about the temple.

Very Amazing please and lots of old ancient sculpture and gods statues. The weather was amazing as it was a Little raining when we visited. It is near the sea that makes the weather more awesome.

The sun temple, the greatest art of Odisha. The temple is full of architecture and beautiful stone arts. You can enjoy the beauty of stone arts and attractive green nature around it.

This historical place is unbelievable, so much of technology the old generation people used to build it. The wheel 6 of the temple still shows the exact time of the day, that is just unbelievable. I would suggest to properly go through the history of it before visiting or get a guide there.
