The wheels of the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, India, are intricately carved stone sundials from the 13th century, symbolizing a chariot for the Sun God Surya. With 24 wheels (12 per side), they represent hours, months, or zodiac signs. Each wheel, divided into eight spokes, tracks time using the sun’s shadow, marking praharas (three-hour units) and finer intervals. Carvings depict seasons, celestial events, and the "Wheel of Time" (Kala Chakra), blending art, astronomy, and spirituality. Though partially ruined, they remain a UNESCO World Heritage marvel.
