Attn. Konark Sun Temple visitors: Temple flooded
For all who is planning to visit Konark Sun temple in very recent future, kindly note that the world heritage site of Konark Sun temple was knee-deep in water as flash floods triggered by heavy rainfall have claimed 32 lives in Orissa. Tourists have to wade through knee-deep water at the Sun temple since Saturday.
See 20 Jun Indian Express News Report here. For those who plan to visit after a few days/weeks, please verify the status before journey.

Really bad news mostly for the 32 lives because the structure of the temple has been supporting floods since almost 1,000 years.
