Ahmedabad to Modhera Sun Temple distance and route
The drive takes about 2 hours in normal traffic, mostly along the state highway via Mehsana.
- Mehsana is the halfway stop on this short drive.
- The 11th-century Sun Temple was built by the Chalukya dynasty and aligned so sunrise lights the main shrine at the equinoxes.
- A stepped tank, the Surya Kund, sits in front of the temple, carved with over a hundred small shrines.
- A sound-and-light show runs on some evenings; timings vary by season, so check before you plan an evening visit.
- Modhera pairs naturally with Patan’s Rani ki Vav on the same day, about 30 km further.
