The Sun temple and Surya Kund at Modhera, in Mehsana district of Gujarat, is a masterpiece when it comes to the sculptures and art. It was built after 1026-27 CE during the reign of Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty.

The temple complex is built in Māru-Gurjara style (Chaulukya style). The temple complex has three axially aligned components; the shrine proper (garbhagriha) in a hall (gudhamandapa), the outer or assembly hall (sabhamandapa or rangamandapa) and a sacred reservoir (kunda).
