https://mocomi.com/ presents: Konark Sun Temple - History and Facts for Kids
The Konark Temple is the most exciting tourist attraction in Orissa. The term ‘Konark’ has been derived from ‘Kona’ and ‘Arka’ that mean ‘corner’ and ‘sun.’
The Konark Temple was built by King Narsingha Deva in 1250 AD to commemorate his victory over Muslims.
This temple is basically dedicated to Lord Surya or the Sun God.
The temple is made up of black granite and is also known as the ‘Black Pagoda.’
Its construction took a long time span of 16 years.
The Konark Sun Temple is shaped like a big chariot representing the Sun God’s chariot. It has 24 wheels and is pulled by seven horses.
The spokes of the wheels serve as sundials and the shadows cast by these can give the precise time of the day.
The Sun God’s chariot in Konark Temple actually represents the seven days of the week, and the 24 hours of the day.
In the temple, there are three images of the Sun God, positioned to catch the rays of the sun at dawn, noon and sunset.
It is said that the temple was not completed as originally planned because the foundation was not strong enough to bear the weight of the heavy dome.
Some people believe that the temple was built completely, but there was a huge magnet in its peak that caused ships to wreck near the seashore. That is why the dome was removed.
The Konark Sun Temple was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
