An interesting aspect of the Konarak temple complex is the collapse of the main temple. Some scholars even believe that the main temple was never completed. Percy Brown asserted that the temple collapsed even before its completion. This theory, is however, not believable.<\/p>\n
The erection of the temple was undoubtedly the greatest achievement of Narasimha I. This fact was repeatedly recorded in the copper plate charters of his successors. The reference to this temple in the records of the successors of Narasimha I clearly proves that the temple was completed and the latest known reference made in the Kenduli plates of Narasimha IV of the Saka year 1305 (1384 A.D.) shows that at that time the monument was in a perfect state of preservation and the presiding deity was under worship.<\/p>\n\n\n
