EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and awe-inspiring architectural detail of a Chariot Wheel on the base of the Surya Temple in Konark, Orissa, India. Created by the Indian School during the 13th century, this stone masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic brilliance of ancient India. The Sun Temple, also known as Konark Temple, was built by King Narasimha of the Ganga dynasty between 1238 and 1264. It serves as a representation of the Sun God's chariot being drawn by a team of majestic horses. The wheel itself holds multiple significances; apart from its obvious role in transportation, it is ingeniously designed to function as a sundial. Every inch of this architectural marvel is adorned with meticulously carved motifs that showcase unparalleled craftsmanship. The intricate carvings depict various mythological scenes and celestial beings associated with Hindu mythology. The photograph captures not only the grandeur but also highlights every minute detail etched into this magnificent structure. From afar, one can appreciate its sheer size and complexity while up close; it reveals an astonishing level of precision in carving. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this extraordinary piece through their lens, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty even if they are unable to witness it firsthand. This print serves as a reminder that art transcends time and space – connecting us with our past while inspiring future generations.
