the wheel of time

the wheel of time by Road Blog.
The wheel - the most well known symbol of Konark... see the intricate carving in sandstone - on the side wall of the main temple at Konark in Orissa. The smaller circles contain the various activities carried out by man through the day... and night...!

This temple is dedicated to the sun god Surya and is shaped like a chariot resting on twelve pairs of immense wheels... The walls of the temple are filled with fascinating and intricate carving celebrating life in all its glory...
