Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Angkor Vat Temple was built in 12th century by Khener Singh Suryavannan-II Notre-Dame the Paris was built in 1163. Sun Temple Konark was built by Ganga dynasty King Narshimdev-I in 13th century A.D.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Konark Sun Temple is an example of the Nagara style of architecture, one of the three styles of Hindu temple architecture. The Nagara temple is square-shaped, containing the sanctum where the deity is housed (the deul) and the pillared assembly hall (the jagamohana).

Detailed explanation-3: -A marvellous metaphor of time and space, the ancient temple is decaying, victim to advancing stone erosion and weathering, which have already blunted the fineness of the carved figurines and taken their toll on the soft stone. Salt action, wind, humidity, algae and fungal growth have all contributed to the damage.

Detailed explanation-4: -The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking around the main idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.
