The Sun Temple of Multan was a temple dedicated to Surya, the Hindu Sun God, in the city of Multan. It commanded significant fame in the subcontinent as a place of pilgrimage and wealth under Hindu as well as Islamic rule before being destroyed in the late tenth century. It appears to have been reconstructed, before being purportedly obliterated by Aurangzeb. The location of the temple remains unknown to historical certainty; however, it is distinct from the Prahladpuri Temple.

  • Soltemplet i Multan var ett antikt hinduiskt tempel i staden Multan i nuvarande Pakistan mellan cirka 400 f.Kr. och 900-talet e.Kr. Det var tillägnat solguden Surya. Helgedomen beräknas härstamma från 400-talet f.Kr. och är därmed ett av de kanske äldsta tempel i Indien vars historia man känner till. Det var ett stort, berömt och mycket rikt tempel som var föremål från pilgrimsfärder från hela Indien fram till dess förstörelse. (sv)
