Place: Modhera,
Mehsana District,
Gujarat.
Venue: Sun Temple
The Sun temple at Modhera in Mehsana district (102 km from Ahmedabad, capital city of Gujarat), in north Gujarat, built during the reign of the Solanki king Bhimdev I, represents one of the most magnificent monuments of Gujarat. The temple, though in ruins, is considered one of the best specimens of Indian art and architecture of the by gone era. The temple dedicated to Lord Surya, the sun god has its outer walls covered with sculptures in which the figures of Lord Surya are prominent.
The beautiful Sun Temple acts as the backdrop during the festival of Indian classical dances held every year in January for two days. This annual festival of dance known as 'Uttarardh Mahotsav', is organized by the Youth Services and Cultural Activities department, Tourism Corporation of Gujarat. The idea is to present Indian Classical dance forms in an atmosphere they were originally presented in.
The venue is beautifully lit during Uttarardh Mahotsav, and the view of the Sun Temple is spectacular.
