莫德赫拉（Modhera）太阳神庙是一座供奉太阳神苏利耶的印度教寺庙，坐落于印度古加拉特邦默黑萨纳那区的莫德赫拉村。它位于普什帕瓦蒂河畔，建造于公元1026-27年的遮娄其王朝。在这座寺庙里，一颗宝石镶嵌在太阳神王冠的中间。这座神庙东侧的入口大门布局十分密集，并恰好让太阳的第一缕光线能够落在镶嵌于太阳神王冠中央的宝石上，照亮整个圣殿，营造出一种神圣的气氛。此外，池塘周围还有108座小神龛，在黄昏和黎明时分营造出宜人的景色。寺庙建筑群现在是受保护的纪念性建筑，由印度考古调查局（Archaeological Survey of India）负责维护。

The Sun Temple of Modhera is a Hindu temple dedicated to the solar deity Surya located at Modhera village of Mehsana district, Gujarat, India. Situated on the bank of the river Pushpavati, it was built after 1026-27 CE during the Chalukya dynasty. In this temple, a gem was studded in the middle of the crown of the Sun God. The entrance gate on the eastern side of this temple is concentrated in such a way that the first ray of the Sun falls directly on a gem that is studded in the middle of the crown of the Sun God. This lights up the entire sanctum, creating a divine atmosphere. In addition, there are 108 small temples surrounding the outside tank, which creates a pleasant sight at dusk and dawn. The temple complex is now a protected monument maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.

▼项目概览，overview

ILDL有幸通过一系列项目为这样一个古老的遗产建筑群提供照明。在寺庙的正立面采用了色温为2200K的灯具，以模仿初升太阳的温暖。此外，集会大厅和圣祠（Sabhamanḍapa）的立面也采用了安装在外围边界栏杆上的小角度线性射灯，实现阴影纹理的光照效果。

ILDL had the privilege to illuminate such an ancient heritage complex with its range of projects. Luminaires having CCT of 2200K have been used in the façade lighting application of the temple to mimic the warmth of the rising sun. In addition, the façade of the Sabhamanḍapa, or assembly hall and the shrine hall, have been illuminated with a light grazing effect with the use of linear grazers that have been mounted on the peripheral boundary wall railing.

整个建筑的墙壁都通过安装在地板上的线性洗墙灯进行了均匀的照射。背景中的树木以一种非常微弱的方式被照亮。寺庙的Shikhara塔被安装在柱子上的多个点光源所强调。中央的池塘和沿其边缘的小神龛被装在底座的点光源所突出。总的来说，整个建筑群的灯光布置创造了一种迷人的风景效果，尤其当它们被反射在宁静水面上时。

The entire pavilion wall has been wall-washed uniformly with the help of linear wall washers mounted on the floor. The trees in the background have been illuminated in a very subtle way. The Shikhara of the temple has been accentuated with multiple spot projectors, which have been mounted on poles. The central kund and the small temples along its periphery have been accentuated with small base-mounted spots. Overall, the complete lighting arrangement of the complex creates a mesmerizing scenic effect when it reflects on the still water of the kund.
