सूरज मंदिर (Sun Temple) was built by Diwan Rao Kripa Ram in 1734 AD under the guidance of Maharajah Sawai jai Singh II. Rao Kripa Ram was a minister in the Jaipur court. Jaipur city was laid out as per the स्थापत्य वेद (Sthapatya Veda: old Indian architectural science) because of which the temples were placed at all strategic points. Sun temple is situated on the Eastern side of East-West axis of the walled city of Jaipur. The road which originates in front of the Sun temple used to be the most important arterial road connecting the East gate with West gate of the walled city. Suraj Pol was on the East side and Chand Pol on the west side. सूरज (Sun) and चाँद (Moon). Each gate finds its name on the basis of astronomy. It was logical to build the Sun temple on the Eastern hill range. #Historic #Heritage #Temple #Suryavanshi #BornToTheSun #Architecture #Beaut #RoyalsOfIndia #Views #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Sun Temple)
