Also known as the Surya Mandir, the Sun Temple is one of the most popular religious centres in the Gwalior city. Although not constructed too long ago, but the Sun Temple has turned out to be one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city these days. Although it is one of the most revered shrines in the city now, the Sun Temple is also known for its amazing architecture. Dedicated to the holy Sun God as the name suggests, the Sun Temple in Gwalior has been modelled with somewhat close similarities to the legendary Sun Temple at Konark in Odisha. The temple adorns a breathtaking architecture and thus attracts tourists and devotees from all over the country in large numbers. It is best to visit the temple during winters to get a respite from the scorching heat, i.e. between the months of October and March. The temple is located in a serene ambience and a well-maintained garden within the temple premises is very attractive. This holy temple draws the locals and tourists alike who gather here to render their prayers. Before the temple was built the gardens had the name Tapovan. The gardens were the location of an ill-fated attempt to introduce african lions by the Maharaja of Gwalior State. The temple is the replica of the famous Sun Temple of Konark in Orissa. The temple is one of the architectural wonders and has a beautiful sculpture of Lord Surya in the temple premises. The temple building is created in the shape of chariot pulled by seven horses each one depicting seven days of the week. One can also see total 24 wheels representing the 24 hours of a day. There are total 365 idols of Gods around the temple for 365 days in a year. The contrasting color combination of the exteriors with the interiors of the temple is another fantastic feature. The exterior is built of red sandstone whereas the interiors are made of marble. This gives a more exotic look to the temple. The exteriors of the temple are also decorated with numerous stone carved images depicting various Hindu gods. The temple is located in a serene ambience and a well-maintained garden within the temple premises is very attractive.
