Konark Sun Temple 🌻-
12 pairs of wheels and the 12 stone-carved wheels of the Konark Sun Temple represent the 12 months of the year.
These wheels that are found at the bottom of the temple also show time. The spokes of the wheel form the form of a sundial.
The exact times of the day are often calculated seeing the shadow cast by the wheels.
