The Sun Temple at Konark is undoubtedly one of the wonders of the world, not just India.
And it is living proof that everything Trump-loving, Putin-worshipping, Musk-adulating, Zionism-supporting Hindutva crowd – kowtowing to the U.S.-Israel-Zionist lobby – well, whatever this Hindutva bandwagon, eager to swallow every gob of phlegm Trump spits at our face – tells you about this thing called “Sanātana Dharma” – is false.
Go there.
Have a look.
You’ll know what I’m talking 😉
There are still many Hindus worth their salt, who love the ancient culture of India, who honour its surpassing achievements, who still seek an Indian Renaissance, who cannot possibly be a part of the fiasco known as Hindutva.
Please right-click on all the photos to see the expanded images.
All these photos have been taken by me.
By putting them on a public domain, I implicitly am fine with the private use of these images, as long as they’re not distorted or manipulated in any way.
If anyone wants to use them publicly, an acknowledgement of this blog would be deeply appreciated

I have to note specifically that I am not uploading the erotic images of the Konark Temple.
I would love to, but when the time is more suitable.
Fact is, the entire temple is overwhelmingly adorned with highly graphic sexual, erotic images.

Above:
A mythological creature – I have no clue what it is called – but it’s a composite creature made up of the elephant and lion.
I wouldn’t call it a “Yaali”, which is essentially a lion with horns.
Do note while the head is that of an elephant, the body is that of a lion: including the mane.
Can this be called a “leogryph”?
Well, these creatures, and other such, are a staple feature of all Indian temples, and very conspicuous in Orissa.
This one is in a wonderful state of preservation.

Above:
A sweet-smiling male musician, from the Nāṭa-manḍapa – or Dance Pavilion – which is the first structure one sees, on entering the temple premises.
Most statues are not so well-preserved.
(This pic was taken on my phone camera, which no longer functions as efficiently as it used so, so the image isn’t very clear.
The pic has been slightly altered in terms of sharpness, contrast, saturation, etc.)

Above:
An erotic couple from the Jaga-mohana – the structure that actually stands today.
It should be remembered that this is not the central shrine of the temple, but a sort of antechamber to a much bigger building, which held the sanctum, and which collapsed centuries ago.
The man has hair that looks like ringlety dreadlocks.
He is undressing the woman, and her yoni is visible.
This pic was taken from a very great distance, as the visitors were not allowed to climb up to the Jaga-Mohana itself.
The whole experience was considerably frustrating, because thousands of tourists come from thousands of kilometers away, and nobody was allowed to climb the temple building, even where no restoration work was being done.
I totally could NOT see the reason why hundreds & hundreds of feet of space were barred off from view, when there was work being done only on one small section, and on one trip, there were no workers at all!
The temple authorities should seriously consider the manner in which tourists are treated, which was no good.
Treat people with respect.
If you want a better crowd, charge more money as entry fees, but please treat your visitors with respect.
Also, employ some more guards, if you want to make sure that people don’t treat the sculptures frivolously.
But to restrict people from the main structure itself, for work being done on a small segment hundreds of feet away, was ridiculous.

Above:
From a pavilion to the left of the temple (as we enter).
There are 2 massive stone horses – apparently war-horses – on these pavilions.
The head of the man leading the horse is missing.
There is a pavilion to the right of the temple, with 2 war-elephants.
Horses and Elephants were the two main animals used in Indian warfare, and are carved all over the temples of Orissa.
For some reason, though, India has gained the reputation of using only elephants which (so it’s claimed) was a problem when Indians faced horse-riding foreigners (elephants would panic & run helter-skelter, killing the Indian soldiers, and that is how they lost.).
I have altered the saturation, contrast etc. of the image, slightly.

Above:
A panoramic view of the Jaga-Mohana, from the horse-pavilion.
As can be seen, though not very clearly, that there is a board restricting people from climbing above the 4th step to the building.
The entire upper half was blocked off, for no reason that I can comprehend.
Though there is no work going on, and no workers anywhere.
People were not allowed on to the horse and elephant pavilions either, only up to the top stair: I don’t know why.
Not even within 5 feet of the beasts.
There was no work going on there either.
The condescending attitude of the temple authorities was unjustified, and aggravating.
The Jaga-Mohana is indeed a part of the temple, but in another sense, just half of it, and not the more important half.
The main temple, known as the Shikhara or Deula, was much taller, and must have been breath-taking in its grandeur & beauty.
The Konark Temple, as it stands today, is the most beautiful, wonderful thing I have ever seen in my life.
Added 7th March, 2025:
What the hell … I decided to upload a few more pics, including two containing some erotic imagery.
The first is a segment of a frieze from the temple.
Everything is very obvious here.
The second is a life-size, stunningly beautiful female figurine, from the Museum at Konark.
I have no clue who she is, or what is she holding, but it’s possibly a musical instrument.
The third is the same figurine from another angle.
I have altered the coloration, saturation etc. of these 2 pics.
I must say that most of the men & women carved on the Konark Temple, i.e. the normal men & women (not dwarfs, for e.g.), look like Indians.
This lady could easily pass for a beautiful woman from West Bengal.
The fourth is a couple which is, well, engaging in … fellatio 😉
And whatever you may do, please don’t depend on a so-called “Sanātani”, to interpret these carvings, or this temple, for you.
“Sanātanis” are too busy licking the boots of the degenerate thug Donald Trump, to use their brains, to even comprehend the truth, let alone accept it.
Come to your own conclusions, use your own wits, your own imagination if need be.
And if your wits don’t lead you anywhere, just enjoy the mystery & the ecstasy of it all without faux wisdom ruining it.
