EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the wheel from the chariot of Surya, an ancient stone sculpture created by the Indian School in the 13th century. The artwork is located at the Sun Temple in Konark, Orissa, India, which was built by King Narasimha during his reign from 1238 to 1264. The temple itself represents the majestic chariot of the Sun God, drawn by a team of horses. What makes this wheel even more remarkable is its dual function as a sundial. Its intricate design and craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring.
