Another Architectural Amazement of the KONARK SUN TEMPLE is the Huge Chlorine slab of about 26 ton in weight is The "NAVAGRAHA SLAB"

A huge single stone containing the nine planetary gods the Navagraha.
It is a huge monolithic chlorite slab of 6.1 m in length,1.45m in breadth

& 1.43 m in height
This richly ornamented slab was originally placed over the front door of the Jagamohan (Mukhashala ).Its a wonder that how did they placed such a huge and heavy slab over the entrance gate.

Now this Navagraha slab is being worshiped in a separate temple inside the Sun temple premises .
Our ancient architectures was so wonderful and great that they had created magic on stone.
