Sun Temple is situated at about 39 kms from Ranchi on Tata Road near Bundu. It is one of important temples of Jharkhand in India. It stands on a hillock. This elegant Sun temple is fashioned in the form of huge chariot with richly decorated 18 wheels and seven life like horses ready to take of. Built by Sanskriti Vihar, then headed by Sita Ram Maroo, the sun temple deserves the title "a poem in stone". The surroundings of the temple, studded with a pond serving as a sacred place for Chhath vratis, are nature's bounty to the peple of Chotanagpur. A beautiful dharmashala is also built there for pilgrims. The all weather motorable road upto the temple premises is likely to attract tourists who will be captivated to behold the newly built sun temple in the placid and serene surrounding leading to its celestial bueaties.
