Konark sun temple never fails to mesmerize one, no matter how many times one visits it.
The avilable anectotes, historical narratives, and the craftsmanship on the stones!
Wonderful job Dr Neville & Dr Ipsita. Kudos. 🎉🎉

First time here. Fantastic documentation, tight editing and great narration. Loved the juxtaposition of the music to the images. If the idea was to punctuate the mood, exquisite artwork, imagery and detail, the editing certainly succeeded. Can’t wait for the next one.
