The Sun Temple was built mostly of gilded copper, and the amla of stone. The outer parts were removed by Muslims who thought it was gold and melted it down. Underneath, the amla was made of massive blocks of stone that were clamped together by iron dowels.

Who built the sun temple?

The sun god has been one of the most widely worshipped gods in the world, with temples on every continent other than Antarctica and Australia. Even the Temple believed to have been built by Solomon in Jerusalem, which is often thought to have been used solely for the monotheistic God of Judaism, was also used by sun worshippers, as we find in Ezekiel 8:16: "And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east." The kings of Judah even kept horses dedicated to the sun and there were chariots for the sun until they were removed from the Temple by King Josiah as inimical to monotheism (2 Kings 23:11).
