Description

As the name suggests, Kankaditya is a temple of Suryadev or the Sun God. It offers a calming atmosphere as soon as we enter the premises.
The carvings of various gods, goddesses, and prominent events on the wooden pillars are simply amazing. Also, we can see wooden idols of Gods and goddesses beautifully maintained. The temple is a place of peace and serenity and also an architectural wonder. A must-visit for all kinds of travelers alike.

The idol of Suryanarayan intricately carved in black stone is nearly 800 years old.  Also, there is an 850-year-old copperplate (Tamrapat) book, delicately woven together, displaying a wonderful piece of ancient art and skill. This ‘Daanpatra’ is from 1191 AD. This temple and artifacts there keep visitors awestruck with the craftsmanship and architectural expertise of our ancestors.
