Years: 1299 - 1299
The colossal Surya temple at Konarak in Orissa, the most immense and ambitious of northern Indian Hindu temple complexes, takes the form of the giant horse-drawn sacred chariot associated with Surya the sun god, to whom the temple is dedicated.
Believed to have been begun by king Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty in about 1240, the temple is never completed; by the end of the thirteenth century, the Muslim conquest has put an end to Hindu art in northern India.
