Beautifully kept, the Martand Sun Temple is built in nagara style of temple architecture. It is a protected monument under Archaeological Survey of India. Built in 8th century AD, it is senior to the Konark Sun Temple, Odisha (13th century AD) and Modera Sun Temple, Gujarat (11th Century). “Martand” is Sanskrit name for Sun. Ancient and medieval Kings would often call themselves as “son of Sun” (Surya-putra). The impressive Martand Sun Temple was built during reign of one of the mightiest emperors of north India, Lalitaditya Muktapida. LALITADITYA MUKTAPIDA: Emperor Lalitaditya Muktapida (724 to 760 AD), a name surprisingly not mentioned in the school books of India, was the fiercest and the most powerful ruler of the Karkota dynasty of Kashmir region. His name Lalit+Aditya means “beautiful Sun God”. His empire stretched from Kabul in the west to present day Kolkata in the east. Lalitaditya had founded a number of towns and temples in the valley. The Martand Sun Temple stands as his most magnificent creation. SIKANDAR BUTSHIKAN: Muslim ruler Sikandar Butshikan, the idol breaker, (हिंदी: बुतशीखान – मूर्ति तोड़ने वाला; اردو - بت شکن) in the early 15th century ordered complete demolition of the Martand Sun Temple, an exercise that is said to have lasted for a year. It was done in his effort to convert Hindus of the Valley to Islam, which he succeeded in doing to a large extent by persecuting Hindus on large scale, destroying the Hindu-Buddhist icons of culture and infusing terror in the minds of Hindus and Buddhists of the Valley. He had also destroyed a large number of Buddhist temples and masterpieces.

Trek up, take the helicopter and trek remainder distance - in any case this will be a once in a lifetime, arduous journey. Feel accomplished at the end of it. The cave itself and the ice linga is unique and mesmerizing. Trek can be cold, slippery (melted snow, frozen ice, narrow two-way path shared by humans and ponies.
