The Art on an Art

Got a chance of Visiting Konark, an ancient port city of Odisha(thats How Orissa has to be called in Odiya(Its for Oriya in Odiya)). At noon Its very calm that even the Human noise couldn't disturb the calmness of One of the Finest Architecture of India, The Sun Temple. I am welcomed by the stage like structure with many pillars and no ceiling. Then comes the great Chariot shaped granite structure, the main part of the Temple. No one is allowed to enter the Shrine of the Temple or should say that no one could. The Shrine is completely stuffed with the solid masses in order to save the Entire master piece from destruction. But "a lot" to see on the outer walls of the Shrine.
The entire sculpture is about the art which is Oldest but most modern too. It proved that our ancestors are the Masters of "the Arts" I have changed my view on The Sun Temple from the Pilgrimage centre to Architecture marvel then to a Romantic spot. It teaches every Human being, Buddy! there's a lot to learn.
