Konark Sun Temple, Odisha
Built in 1255 CE by King Narasimhadeva I, this stunning sun temple is shaped like a gigantic chariot with twelve pairs of richly decorated stone wheels that are drawn by seven horses. Built from Khondalite rocks, the gigantic structure is said to have stood at over 70 meters originally, until its main tower fell off in 1837. The surviving ruins stand about 40 meters tall, and offer plenty of intricate sculptures on display.
