Crafted with Care: Skilled Villagers from Odisha's Lalitagitri Village Bring the Temple's Wheel to Life

Skilled villagers from Lalitagitri Village in Odisha put a lot of effort into making a beautiful art piece. They used sandstone to carefully craft it, and it's inspired by the famous wheels of the Konark Sun Temple.

This artistic creation will also symbolize unity between the Indian diaspora and Americans, adorning Vikas Khanna's forthcoming restaurant in New York City in 2024.

This initiative enables Americans who haven't visited Konark to appreciate the temple's architectural elegance. The 13th-century Sun Temple in Konark, Puri, has long captivated visitors from across India and around the world.
