» Sun Temple or Surya Mandir

sun-temple-gwalior   Sun Temple or the Surya Mandir as it is called is one of the most popular religious destinations in the ancient city of Gwalior. It is located near the residency at Morar at a distance of 5km from the city center.

As the name suggests, the Sun Temple is dedicated to the Sun God. Constructed by the famous G.D Birla in the year 1988, the design & architecture of this Surya Mandir

is inspired by Konark’s famous Sun Temple.

An architectural wonder, the exterior of the Sun Temple is constructed in red sand stone. Unlike the exterior of the temple, the captivating interior has been constructed using white marble & houses a beautiful carved sculpture of Lord Surya. One can also find beautiful carved figurines of Hindu Gods on the exterior of the temple.

The serene ambience of the temple building is complimented by a well-maintained garden which serves as the perfect place to relax.

Although a newly constructed temple, this stunning shrine witnesses a large crowd of tourists & pilgrims all year round, making it one of the most sought after religious destinations of Gwalior.
