The entire temple is made in the form of a huge chariot of Sun God with 24 wheels (12 pairs) and pulled by 7 horses. This tmeple has 3 main strutures. The Dance Hall, Prayer Hall and Main Temple. The Dance Hall wall and pillars are carved with 277 Devadasi dance poses which is considered as the first form of Indian Classical Dance. The wall of the Prayer Hall showcases the famous love making sculptures and for this reason Konark Sun Temple is also called second Khajuraho Temple of India. The Main temple has already collapsed 80%. At western side of Sun Temple there is Temple of Chaya - the wife of Sun God. Another scientific marvel of the Konark Sun Temple is Sun-Dial which tells time accurately during day.
