Five-Striped Palm Squirrels at the Sun Temple near Modhera, Gujarat, India (November 23, 2017)
I traveled to India for the first time to present a keynote at the 3rd Global Conference on Emerging Trends for Business Librarianship, November 21-22, 2017 at the Indian Institute of Management - Ahmedabad, India. I started my journey home on the evening of November 23rd, so we had an opportunity to take in more sites in Gujarat. We visited the Sun Temple in Modhera, also in Gujarat. This Hindu temple is dedicated to Surya (the solar deity) and located in the Mehsana district. It was built in 1026-1027 AD. According to the Wikipedia, the temple complex has three main components: "Gudhamandapa, the shrine hall; Sabhamandapa, the assembly hall and Kunda, the reservoir." What an amazing site. It was wonderful to see so many Five-Striped Palm Squirrels there. I love these little guys! Pictures from Thursday November 23, 2017.
