Also called Konarak
The sun temple of Konark is the former center of Orissan Buddhism.
Among its many sculptures is one of a king riding on an elephant being greeted by a group of men, among whom the presence of a giraffe is noted.

 

On the chance that this is really a giraffe see: Note on giraffe sculptures in India.
