Konark, India 🏛️✨

In Konark, time doesn’t feel like it moves forward—it feels carved in stone. The air is heavy with salt from the nearby coast and history that refuses to fade into silence.

The heart of it all is the breathtaking Konark Sun Temple, where stone chariots seem frozen mid-journey, as if the sun god himself once rode across the sky and left his wheels behind. Every carving feels alive—dancers, warriors, animals, myths—etched so deeply it’s like the walls are still remembering.

Morning light hits the temple in a way that makes it glow, not like a structure, but like something sacred still breathing. Wind moves through the ruins, carrying stories older than memory itself.
