The Sun Temple at Konarak was built in about 1250 AD by King Narasimhadeva of Eastern Ganga. According to local legend, the temple had great power. Two very powerful magnets existed here built into the tower that allowed the king's throne to hover in mid-air. European seafarers sailing off the coast named it the Black Pagoda. The magnets of the temple affected the tidal pattern and have said to have caused frequent shipwrecks along the coast.
