The Konark Sun Temple is conceived as the colossal stone chariot of Surya, the sun god, its plinth ringed by twenty-four carved wheels that double as working sundials. Built in the 13th century of khondalite, chlorite, and laterite, the stone has weathered over centuries from iron-grey toward warm rust and ochre-brown.

This design system distills that monumental Kalinga vocabulary into digital form — a dark weathered-stone ground, rust-ochre carved accents, radial wheel-and-spoke geometry, and dense narrative friezes rendered through layered relief bands and a coarse, grainy stone surface.
