The entire complex was designed in the form of a huge chariot drawn by seven spirited horses on twelve pairs of exquisitely carved wheels. The sanctum symbolises the majestic stride of Sun God and marks the culmination of the Orissan archilectural style. The Vimana of the deol has collapsed, while that of jagamohana and the nata mandapa are well preserved. The walls of the temple contain superb carving of divine, semi-divine and animal figures among floral and geometric ornamentations.
