How To Reach Surya Mandir

Nalanda, Bihar, India:
The Surya Mandir (Sun Temple) in Bargaon is an ancient and highly revered Hindu temple dedicated to the Sun God, Surya. It is strategically located near the Nalanda University Ruins and the sacred Surajpur Pond (or Surya Pokhar). While the current temple structure is relatively modern, the site itse lf has immense historical and religious significance, suggesting a long tradition of Sun worship in the Magadha region, possibly predating the flourishing of Nalanda as a major Buddhist center. The temple houses several ancient and intricately carved stone images of Hindu and Buddhist deities, recovered from the local area, suggesting a cultural and religious overlap. The temple is especially famous for being a major center for the celebration of the Chhath Puja, one of Bihar's most important and iconic festivals, dedicated entirely to the Sun God. Devotees flock here in large numbers twice a year, in the Kartik (October/November) and Chaitra (March/April) months, to offer prayers at the sacred pond and the temple. The visit offers a stark contrast between the academic atmosphere of the ruins and the vibrant, living tradition of local Hindu worship.
