The Konark Sun Temple, constructed around 1250 under the rule of King Narasingha Deva I of the Eastern Ganga dynasty, is a 13th-century Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Surya, or the Sun God. It is often referred to as the Surya Devalaya. This magnificent temple is located on the Odisha coast, approximately 35 kilometres northeast of Puri. Interestingly, European sailors in the 16th and 17th centuries nicknamed the Konark Sun Temple the Black Pagoda due to its imposing black-tiered appearance when viewed from the Bay of Bengal.
