The Martand Sun Temple is a Hindu temple located near the city of Anantnag in the Kashmir Valley of Jammu and Kashmir. It dates back to the eighth century AD and was dedicated to Surya, the chief solar deity in Hinduism. It was once a thriving place of worship, commissioned by Lalitaditya Muktapida. It was destroyed by Sikandar Shah Miri in the 14th century. It was an excellent specimen of Kashmiri architecture, which had blended the Gandharan, Gupta and Chinese forms of architecture.
