Abstract of the talk :

Many technologies have evolved since last few centuries and today Civil Engineering may be at its best but it is impossible to create another “KONARK” with equal majestic conception and engineering brilliance.

The first ray of the morning falls on the diamond surmounted on the crown of the floating idol.

This majestic conception makes KONARK the epitome of ancient engineering and technologies. It is an UNESCO world heritage site and one of seven wonders of India.

Unique Ancient Construction techniques and engineering principles used in this temple.
