The temple is designed to look like the chariot of the sun god Surya, with 24 wheels and six horses.
Built in the 13th century, the temple took more than 12 years to complete. It's made of black granite, which is why it's also known as the Black Pagoda.
It is about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northeast from Puri city on the coastline in Puri district, Odisha, India.
It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984
It remains a major pilgrimage site for Hindus, who gather here every year for the Chandrabhaga Mela around the month of February.
