Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This is one of the stone wheels of the architectural genius Konark Sun Temple, built by Odisha’s king Narshimhadeva dedicated to the Sun god in 1255 AD. This is not only a mere wheel, this wheel has eight spokes. In the Indian time system, the day is divided into eight prahars comprising three hours each. The wheels served as a sun dial. One can tell the time accurate to a minute by observing the shadow of the axel falling on the rest of the wheel. |
