    PLACE
    Stuated on the northeastern corner of Puri, Konark Sun
    Temple is a World Heritage site and one of the prime
    tourist attractions of Odisha. Pulled by a set of seven
    horses, four on the left side and three on the right, this
    massive temple is built in the form of a giant
    ornamented chariot of the Sun god. The word 'Konark'
    comes from the combination of two words 'Kona' and
    'Arka'. 'Kona' means corner and 'Arka' means the sun
    so the temple means 'Sun of the Corner.' This historical
    place in Odisha is understood to be a cosmic chariot of
    the sun god. There is also a dedicated archaeological
    museum inside the temple complex. The Konark Dance
    Festival is held every year usually in the month of
    February which attracts a lot of foreign and Indian
    tourists. The Sun Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage
    Site dedicated to devotees of the Sun God.
