Best places to visit in Konark 

1. Sun Temple, Konark

One of the most popular tourist destinations in Odisha, Konark Sun Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the northeastern corner of Puri. Constructed in the shape of an enormous rath, or Sun God's chariot, it shows the chariot being drawn by seven horses, three on the right and four on the left. On three separate sides of the temple, which receive direct sunlight in the morning, afternoon, and nighttime, are three deities devoted to the Sun God. Within the temple complex is a specialized archaeological museum as well. The temple changes into a stage during The Konark Dance Festival, which takes place every year in February and draws a large number of foreign and Indian tourists – worshipers of the Sun God.

2. Konark Dance Festival

The Konark Dance Festival takes place every year against the backdrop of Odisha's magnificent Konark Sun Temple. Classical performers of all ages flock to Konark to demonstrate their musical and dancing abilities to raise awareness of this ancient relic. Handicrafts and sculptures are also on display to highlight the region's hidden skills. Every year, this festival draws together dancers, musicians, and cultures from throughout the country in a spectacular showcase of many art forms.

3. Astaranga Beach

Astaranga, which means "colourful sunset," is a stunning beach in the state of Orissa. As the name suggests, this beach is well-known for its magnificent sunset vistas. The sky takes on vibrant colours, and the blue lake, in contrast, makes the entire scene appear fantastic. Astaranga Beach is a popular fishing community, and every morning a market is set up on the beach where you can buy a variety of fresh seafood. This beach is ideal for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city and spending some quiet time renewing yourself.

4. ASI Museum

The ASI Museum is located outside the Sun Temple and displays some remarkable objects that capture the essence of the Oriyan art form. The museum houses 250 different types of antiquities unearthed from the Sun Temple. There are distinct galleries with unique collections of antique objects such as carved stones, Surya Narayana pictures, erotic sculptures, and more.

5. Chandrabhaga Beach

Chandrabhaga Beach, located 3 kilometres east of the Sun Temple in Konark, Orissa, where the Chandrabhaga River flows into the sea, is one of the country's most beautiful and pollution-free beaches. The Foundation of Environmental Education (FEE) granted the beach the Blue Flag Certification for its perfectly clean shoreline and crystal clear waters--a badge given to environmentally friendly beaches that meet their demanding standards. The beach, which is lined by tall trees and a large expanse of golden sand, is also culturally and historically important. Several cultural festivals and religious fairs take place here regularly, bringing a large number of pilgrims and devotees to the seashore.
