5. Architecture
The temple is constructed in a stunning design of colossal
chariot with 24 wheels drawn towards the dawn by 7 horses
which gives the impression of carrying Sun god across
heaven.
These seven horses which pulls the temple eastwards
represents the days of the week.
The main entrance of the temple is the eastern gate where the
statues of two lions killing war elephants are installed.
Beneath the elephant is a man.
Here the statue of lion symbolizes pride and elephant
symbolizes money which further displays that these two
errors (pride and money) can destroy a human being
completely.
