The most shocking fact about Konarak sun temple. The temple which is around 800 years old, but never ever happened worship in the temple.
1200 workers (stone carving workers) worked for 12year to build the Konarak sun temple with chief architect Bishu Maharana.
Temple which total area covered across 12 acres on the command of king Narsimbhadeva 1.
The Konarak temple which was in the carcass of a chariot was built of stone which was brought from hills of Kadamgiri and Uday Giri about 100 kilometers away from kinaro.
It was a great engineering masterpiece where the entire structure was built of stone and they were interlocked by metals. The entire metal skeleton was held together by a huge magnet which was more than 5 tons in weight.
The ancient story said that the idol of the sun god was made of Astadhatu (an alloy of 8 metals) this was suspended in mid-air balance by the magnet.
The temple was completed in time except for the crown stone which is Dadhinauti.
There was some problems occurring while the workers were trying to install dadhi nanti and it used to fall down all hence they were not able to complete the work. King became angry that they not completed the work in time, he decided to behead the 1200 workers along with the chief architect Bishu maharana.
He was depressed and sat down, suddenly he saw a young boy around 12-year-old coming in search of him. the boy’s name was dharma pada. The boy came and told bishu maharana that he was his son bishu maharana was shocked because he had never seen his son since his son was 12 years old and all this while he was there busy in the work of the temple.
The 12-year-old boy dharmapada surprise everyone by giving idea for installing the dadhi nathi and the problem in hand was solved.
But everybody started discussing that if king Narsimbhadeva 1 gets to know that a 12-year-old boy was the person responsible for this success of the work rather than the 1200 experienced workers than anyway the king would kill them all.
So the dharmapada decided to sacrifice his life by kampung from the top of the temple in the chandrabhava river and save the 1200 workers from getting beheaded.
Since that time the temple become unholy with the death of dharmapada. Sun god never worshipped there. The myth says that Dharmapada was an avatar of the sun god who comes to break the ego of the king.
