ASI Restricts Entry to Sun Temple's Nata Mandap for Tourist Safety

A very old and beautiful temple called the Konark Sun temple has a special part called the 'Nata Mandap' where people used to go.

But now, a group called ASI has decided that tourists can't go inside the Nata Mandap anymore.

This is because some people have gotten hurt falling while trying to take pictures.

Also, some people were touching and scratching the stone art.

So, to keep everyone safe and to protect the ancient artwork, ASI has put up a barrier.

The temple is a special place, recognized by UNESCO, and it's important to keep it safe for many years to come.
