Konark
(lat. 19.53'N; long. 86.06'E) is a small town in Puri distrit. The Bay of
Bengal is barely 4 kilometer away. It is 70 km from Bhubaneswar. The name
Konark is a variant of Konark which means the Arka (Sun) of Kona (corner),
the corner being that of Trikona on the bank of the Kushabhadra.
The magnificent Sun Temple at Konark is the culmination of Orissan temple
architecture, and one of the most stunning monuments of religious architecture
in the world. The poet Rabindranath Tagore said of Konark that 'here the language
of stone surpasses the language of man', and it is true that the experience
of Konark is impossible to translate into words.
