Konark
The Konark Archaeological Museum adjacent to the temple houses hundreds of exquisite stone sculptures recovered from the original Sun Temple structure — including fragments of the main shikhara that collapsed centuries ago. It provides extraordinary close-up access to masterwork sculptures impossible to appreciate from a distance at the main site.
The sculptural details of the erotic friezes and celestial musicians are far more visible here than on the temple walls — invaluable for art history enthusiasts.
