You cannot see your own shadow in this place. In India, the Modera Sun Temple is built with incredible geometric perfection. On the 21st of June, the longest day of the year, the temple's shadow doesn't fall on the ground, and even your own shadow won't fall on the ground if you're standing in the temple on this day. This is because the temple was intentionally built on the Tropic of Cancer, at which the sun may appear directly overhead. On the equinoxes, the only two days of the year when the days and nights are exactly equal, the first rays of the sun pass through the center of the temple's entrances and shine into the main chamber. This chamber once housed a giant statue of the sun god Surya, made of pure gold and studded with diamonds. The question is, how did the ancient builders achieve this level of precision, that too in the 11th century, without even a 0.01% error? Their purposeful design covers both important solar events: the equinox and the solstice. These are completely opposite events, yet both of them are calculated and celebrated in this temple.
