Best Places To Visit In Puri

1. The Temple of Jagannath

The Jagannath Temple, dedicated to Lord Jagannath, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, is a stop on the Char-Dham yatra, along with Dwarka, Rameshwaram, and Badrinath. The temple, which features architecture in the Kalinga style, is the most visited location in Puri Family Packages. Other prominent gods in the temple, carved from wood, are Lord Jagannath's siblings, Lord Balabhadra and Subhadra Devi. Every day, the temple provides Mahaprasad to thousands of worshipers. Every year in June or July, the renowned Rath Yatra (chariot festival) at Jagannath Temple draws lakhs of devotees to Puri.

2. The Beach at Puri

Puri Beach, renowned for its golden sand and pristine sea, is one of India's cleanest beaches. It's the ideal location to see the captivating dawn and dusk. Fun beach activities include horseback riding, ATV rides, parasailing, and camel rides. The vendors sell snacks and seafood in the evening, while the beach market shops are set up and sell mementoes and everyday necessities. Plan your Puri vacation package with your family now, as Puri Beach organizes an annual beach festival in November that honours Odisha's history and heritage.

3. Museum of Sudarshan Crafts

The Sudarshan Craft Museum was founded in 1977 by renowned Indian sculptor Sudarshan Sahoo and features an array of paintings, handicrafts, sculptures, and stone, fibreglass, and wood carvings. It's also possible for aspiring painters to exhibit their artwork. The museum's grounds include a workshop, a library, and a Buddhist temple designed in the Japanese style. This museum is on the wish list of art fans, who can incorporate it into their Puri Family Tour Packages.

4. Narendra Tank, aka Narendra Pokhari

Narendra Pokhari was named after his master, Nakhaposi Narendra Mahapatra, and was established by King Bhanu Narasingh Dev of the Ganga Dynasty. In the centre of the tank lies a small temple known as Chandana Mandapa, which is connected by a bridge to the southern side. Every year, at Narendra Pokhari, the well-known Chandana Yatra is held. During this event, all the gods are brought out of their temples, given Chandana, and bathed in the sacred water of this tank. People bathe in one of the sixteen ghats that this tank covers because it is revered.

5. The Temple of Gundicha

The Gundicha temple, also called the Garden House of Jagannath, was constructed by Lord Jagannath's devotee Gundicha Maharani. The temple's architecture features beautiful stone sculptures and is surrounded by coconut palms and verdant gardens. The idols of Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and his sister Subhadra are moved to the Gundicha Temple during Rath Yatra and are there for nine days, entering by the west gate and leaving through the east. Plan your family's trip to Puri and take in the sacred processions.
