Modhera Sun Temple - History details

Built in 1026 CE by King Bhima I of the Solanki dynasty, this temple aligns with the equinox sunrise over its Surya Kund. Located on the Pushpavati River in Patan district, it exemplifies Maru‑Gurjara carving. Interesting: no active worship occurs today. Special dates: the Modhera Dance Festival in January showcases classical performances.
