Description
The Modhera Sun Temple is one of the finest examples of reverence carved in stone as one may ever see. The passion with which it is ornamented, and the sheer profusion of the innumerable figures, both religious and erotic, leaves you breathless.
After nearly a thousand years, it remains the most finished piece of work within the compass of human art to effect.
What force inspired the thousands of craftsmen to conceive and carve in stone a structure which stands as a monument to their veneration and sense of beauty? Should not this extraordinary heritage be.
