The wheels make more sense with a guide
Konark Sun Temple, Konark, Odisha
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
The Sun Temple's carved wheels and walls are full of detail that's easy to walk past. A licensed guide can point out how the wheels work as sundials and what the friezes show.
The lesson
Hire an approved guide at the site, and agree the length of the tour first.
