On the
shores of the Bay of Bengal, bathed in the rays of the rising sun, the temple
at Konarak is a monumental representation of the sun god Surya's chariot; its
24 wheels decorated with enrapturing designs; led by a team of six horses. Built in
the 13th century – it is a great architectural marvel

Are Sun and the
Moon of the same size ?? –
The sun’s
diameter is about 400 times larger than that of the moon – and the sun is also
about 400 times farther from Earth.
Life is not about
– ‘who is big or powerful’ – howsoever
mighty the Sun could be, it was the Moon that attracted people on Pournami day
! - while people were busy taking photos of ‘Pournami Nilavu’ – here is a photo
of Sun set.
In villages Sun
would disappear behind hill or natural scenery; at places, He would disappear
into the Sea – but in Metropolis, He has top hide behind manmade structures and
cloth hangings !!
Some working from the comfort of air-conditioned interiors choose to complain ! – while some do it gracefully under hot Sun
