SUN TEMPLE- KONARK
#2

All Orrisan temple are built in Indo-Aryan Style . The main structure in these temples are Deul (bigger structure) and Mandapa (Jagamohana).

The two other buildings are Nat-Mandir (dancing hall) and Bhog-Mandir (hall of offering).

The stones used were :

Chlorite for door-frames.
Laterite for the foundation staircase and the centre of the platform.
Khondalite used at the rest places.

The stones were smoothly finished and fitted together. They were laid horizontally, placed one upon another, and joined together with iron cramps and dowels.
