Described as a poem in stone, the Sun temple at Konark is the crowning glory
of the temple architecture of Orissa. As a fitting tribute to the majestic monument,
eminent classical dancers of India get together during the Konark Festival every
year from 1st to 5th December to present live performances of their art.
When the sun sets in the horizon and the stars appear in the sky, the open-air
auditorium against the backdrop of the floodlit temple reverberates with the
beats of Raga and Tala to fill the air. The classical extravaganza is a journey
through ecstasy
