Surya, A Solstice Quiz

Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

The Sun and its cycle have been an important part of worship in India. On this day, this short quiz takes you through the famous Sun temples of India. Like the antiquity of Sun worship, the status of the temples also reflects the long history. Some have been destroyed, some, even with the destruction retain their glory. Some others still host Sun worship and some have left a lasting impression on local traditions.

Do take this quiz and see how many you can recognize.  Just seven questions each marking a day of the modern week.
