Konark Sun Temple is a 13th-century CE Sun Temple at Konark in Orissa, India. It is believed that the temple was built by king Narasimhadeva I of Eastern Ganga Dynasty in 1255 CE. The temple complex is in the shape of a gigantic chariot, having elaborately carved stone wheels, pillars and walls. A major part of the structure is now in ruins. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has also featured on various list of Seven Wonders of India. The temple is 35 km from Puri and 65 km from Bhubaneswar.
The name Konark derives from the combination of the Sanskrit words, Kona (corner or angle) and Ark (the sun), in reference to the temple which was dedicated to the Sun God Surya.

"Everything was amazing"

MAYFAIR Waves

6/10 Okay

"This property is certainly at par with any of Mayfair property or services. Even food options were limited, Even during the permitted time buffet was removed. The place was majorly booked for marriage and the entire lawn and swimming pool area was used for the same not available for other residents to use. Mayfair should not be taking booking when they have marriage happening at their premises or atleast must disclose this before accepting booking."
