KANDAHA SUN TEMPLE - Saharsa , Bihar

KANDAHA SUN TEMPLE SAHARSA

Continent Asia

Country-India

State Bihar

Approach—The site can be approached only by roadways.

About the site—The site is an old SHIV Temple in Kandaha. This is situated on an earthen hill mound. The statue of the Sun god is very big.

King Harisingh Deo of Mithila made the present Sun temple in 14th century AD. It is Situated 15 kilometres west of district headquarters. It is mentioned in Mahabharata and Suryapurana, so this proves that it is from "Dwapar Yuga". According to myths, Samya, son of Lord

Krishna suffered from a skin disease, which could only be cured by mixture of water of suryakup (holy well near the temple) and the ‘holy water by which that statue is to be bathed’. This is also proved by the fact that till date skin diseases are being cured by that holy water.

This Sun temple has one unique feather, as the statue inside shows Sun with his two wives, Sangya and Kalha, seven horses and fourteen lagaams (reins). Another feature of this statue is that it is made of soft stone like clay, which is very rare. This specialty is nowhere to be seen, be it Konark or Deb. The most striking feature is the lipi (script) that is carved on the doors of the temple, which has not been read till date.

In 1985, this temple came under ASI (Archaeological Survey of India).But there is still to be done here.

Festivity—Chath festival and fair

Remarks—It is as famous as Deo Sun temple at Aurangabadand Ular SUN temple at Patna district.
