English: The Surya Kund is a stepwell located in the Sun Temple in Modhera, devoted to Lord Surya. The temple was built in 1026 AD by King Bhimdev on the bank of the river Pushpavati and is now under the supervision of the Archaelogical Survey of India. The stepwell is a great example of geometry. It depicts the usage of a stepwell for more than just water storage. It was used for religious ablutions before praying to the Sun God. |
