Deo Sun Temple

Built during the 8th century by Chandravanshi King, Bhairavendra Singh, Deo Sun Temple in Aurangabad district is one of the most notable temples and a major crowd-puller in Bihar. It is often noticed that devotees and travellers visiting Gaya make a point to explore this age-old temple, which is about 70 km drive from the city. At present, the sanctum of the temple features beautiful idols of the presiding deities, namely Vishnu, Surya and Avalokitesawara. If you walk outside the main hall, you will see some broken idols of Gods and Goddess along with sculptures of Sun God. As the temple is among few existing ancient sun temples in the country, it makes for a must visit religious site for Hindus.
