Arasavalli Sun Temple, Hindu temple in Srikakulam district, India.

The temple features black granite carvings depicting the Sun God riding a chariot pulled by seven horses driven by the charioteer Anurudu.

Construction of the temple dates to the 7th century CE under King Devendra Varma of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty and received renovations in the 18th century.

During Rathasaptami festival, devotees gather at the temple to participate in ceremonies and rituals dedicated to the Sun God Surya Narayana Swamy.

The temple is located 1 kilometer from Srikakulam city, with the nearest railway station 17 kilometers away at Srikakulam Road on the Visakhapatnam-Howrah line.

The temple structure allows sunlight to illuminate the deity's feet twice annually during Uttaraynam in March and Dakshinayam in October through closed entrance gates.
