There's a temple in Odisha, built 700 years ago to look like a massive stone chariot carrying the Sun god across the sky — and its 24 carved stone wheels aren't just decoration. Each one has 16 spokes positioned so precisely that the shadows they cast actually tell you the time of day, accurate to this day, with no batteries, no gears, nothing electronic at all. Today on Kidacity, I'm kicking off a brand new series — "How Did They Build THAT?" — exploring real Indian structures built centuries before modern tools, each one hiding a genuine engineering mystery that still makes experts scratch their heads. First up: the Konark Sun Temple, its working stone sundial, and the still-unexplained collapse of its main tower. This is Kidacity — where kids learn, share, and grow together.
