Arasavalli is an ancient sun temple dedicated to the Hindu solar deity Surya, located near the Srikakulam town of Andhra Pradesh, India. The temple is believed to have been built in the 7th Century AD by the Kalinga rulers Devendra Varma of Orissa. Legend has it that Indra the king of Gods attempted to force his entry into the temple of Koteeshwara - Shiva and was thrown away by the gatekeeper Nandi. Repentful of his arrogance in attempting to force his entry, Indra enshrined Surya the Sun God in a temple and performed worship services, at Arasavalli.
