Aruna Stambha, Stone pillar at Jagannath Temple in Puri, India
The Aruna Stambha rises 34 feet high with sixteen sides, featuring a chlorite stone construction and an idol of Aruna at its summit.
The monolithic pillar was transferred from Konark Sun Temple to Puri during King Dibyasingha Deva II reign in the late 18th century.
The pillar bears religious importance as it depicts Aruna, the divine charioteer of Surya, positioned in prayer towards the sun god.
Visitors can find the pillar standing twenty feet from the Singhdwara entrance of Jagannath Temple, marking the main access point.
The cylindrical shaft displays intricate military carvings at its base and incorporates lotus petal designs near its diminishing square slabs.
