Description:
The 11th century Sun Temple of Modhera is one of the finest examples of the prosperous era of Gujarat during the rule of the Solanki dynasty. The temple is dedicated to the Sun God who stands high on a plinth overlooking a deep stone-steeped tank. The carvings on each inch of the edifice are intricate and rich with various figures and natural objects. With a step well and many shrines around of Shiva, Ganesha and Vishnu the Sun temple is comparatively small one. Hardly 80 kms from Ahemedabad its worth a visit.
