Capturing the Glory of Surya Kund, Modhera – A 360° VR Experience for Vibrant Gujarat
Introduction
Vibrant Gujarat has always been a platform to showcase the state’s cultural heritage and technological progress. This year, we at 360 VR Photography had the honor to capture one of Gujarat’s most divine and architecturally stunning locations — Surya Kund, Modhera, located beside the world-famous Sun Temple.
The Vision Behind the Shoot
Our mission was to present the heritage of Gujarat through the lens of immersive technology — to let viewers experience the sacred geometry, symmetry, and beauty of the Surya Kund in full 360° virtual reality.
This project combines ancient architecture and modern innovation, symbolizing what Vibrant Gujarat stands for — Tradition with Technology.
The Preparation & Challenges
Before the shoot, our team conducted multiple site recces to plan every angle and movement carefully.
The challenge was to capture the Surya Kund’s symmetry while maintaining 360° depth and clarity.
We used the Insta360 Pro2 for immersive shots and drone footage for stunning aerial perspectives — ensuring every corner of the stepwell was covered beautifully.
Permission and timing were crucial — especially since the sunlight plays an important role in revealing the real essence of the temple’s architecture.
The Shooting Experience
Shooting at Surya Kund was more than just a technical process; it was a spiritual experience.
As the first rays of sunlight touched the steps of the Kund, the entire atmosphere transformed into a golden canvas.
Our 360° setup allowed us to capture that divine moment — the harmony of light, water, and stone.
Each shot reminded us how ancient Indians designed spaces aligned with cosmic energy and solar movements.
Technology Meets Heritage
The Insta360 Pro2 enabled us to capture crystal-clear 8K VR content with perfect stabilization and depth, allowing future viewers to feel as if they’re standing right there at the Surya Kund.
For aerial visuals, we used a drone to highlight the symmetrical beauty and grand scale of the temple complex.
Combining ground and aerial 360° footage helped us create a seamless and breathtaking virtual journey.
Conclusion
This project for Vibrant Gujarat was not just a film — it was a journey through time, technology, and tradition.
At 360 VR Photography, we’re proud to use cutting-edge VR technology to preserve and present India’s heritage in immersive formats for global audiences.
The Surya Kund shoot reaffirmed our belief — when art, devotion, and innovation come together, the experience becomes truly divine.
