Which of the following temples is described as a monumental representation of Surya's chariot with 24 wheels?
Sun Temple, Konark
The Sun Temple at Konark is described as a monumental representation of Surya's chariot with 24 wheels, symbolising the hours of the day.
Virupaksha, Mahabodhi and Airavatesvara Temples have their own distinct architectural designs, not this specific chariot representation.
Hence, Sun Temple, Konark is the correct answer.
