Indian temple consecrated to the Sun, worshipped as God, in the village Modhera in Gujarat. This temple is characterized by a moderate sized perennial well or Vav in local parlance with small steps encircling it. The small steps-a special feature of the Vav or deep well, enable devotees and villagers draw water all round the year, in ancient times as well as now.
