Situated in a desolate bush green area the Sun Temple is located 39 kms from Ranchi. It is in the form of a huge chariot with richly 18 decorated wheels and 7 life like horses seeming ready to take off - similar in concept to the Konark Sun Temple in Orissa. This Sun Temple in Ranchi was built by Saskrit Vihar headed by Shri Ram Maroo, the Managing Director of Ranchi Express. There is a pond in the vicinity of the temple serving as a sacred place for Chhatavratis to take a dip. The road to the temple is smooth and has a dharamsala for the pilgrims stay.
Elegant Sun temple in Ranchi, in the architectural form of a mammoth vehicle with 18 wheels driven by seven horses, is placed in a lush green lawn. The landscape is charming and the surrounding is very attractive. There is a sacred pond with calm and clean water, many devotees take a dip in this holy pond, with a belief that the dip in this pond will give them relief from all the sins done knowingly and unknowingly.
The temple is termed as a poem written in a stone, so beautiful is the temple and the vicinities. The temple is a nice tourist destination for devotees as well as regular tourists.
