In the 13th century, King Narasimha I ordered 1,200 craftsmen to build the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha. It took them 12 years. But if legend is to be believed, the real mastermind was Krishna’s son—who built it as a thank-you note to Surya, the Sun God.
 
The backstory? Krishna caught his son peeping at his stepmother bathing (awkward). Furious, he cursed him with leprosy. Desperate, the boy turned to Surya, the great healer, who cured him. In gratitude, Konark was born.
 
Designed as Surya’s celestial chariot, the temple stands on 24 intricately carved stone wheels, pulled by seven galloping horses. The horses represent a day of the week and the wheels symbolize the hour of the day. The spokes? Sundials. Their shadows tell the precise time, proving that 13th-century architects really knew their stuff.
 
And then there’s the art—an explosion of dancing women, gods, animals, and amorous couples. 16 types of kisses. 36 forms of pleasure. Dance, music, sex—it was all part of life, and Konark celebrated every bit of it.
