Puri is one of the most visited destinations of eastern India. The abode of Lord Jagannath, Puri constitutes one of the four Dhams or celebrated pilgrimage sites of India and one of the seven most holy places for the Hindus. A pilgrimage of temples in India is considered incomplete without a visit to Puri. The popularity of the city also lies in its beaches. With the Bay of Bengal washing its shores Puri is a preferred beach resort for many. Religious sanctity of the place combined with architectural splendour and seascape beauty has made Puri a much sought after destination for tourists.

Jagannath Temple Darshan :

The sacred abode of Lord Jagannath or the Lord of the Universe, the Jagannath Temple is one of the most renowned temples not only in Orissa but in India. Thousands of devotees pour in from different
parts of the country and the world to pay their homage to the presiding deity. The temple is an architectural splendour towering over its surroundings. Embellished with exquisite carvings and sculptures, the temple is a feast for the eyes. The architectural, historical and religious importance of the Jagannath Temple makes it Puri’s chief tourist attraction.
The temple opens at 5.00am and closes at 1.30pm. In the evening again it opens at 5.30pm and closes at 9.30pm. People of non-Hindu origin are not allowed entry into the temple.

Puri Marine Sea Beach :

Undoubtedly one of the most popular beaches of eastern India, Puri beach is defined by golden sands,
fascinating views of the sunrise and sunset and charming beach resorts combined with lip-smacking
sea food. Puri beach is also ideal for swimming which accounts for its popularity with tourists. Every year in the month of November, the Puri Beach Festival is organised by Indian Ministry of Tourism, the state of Orissa, the Development Commissioner of Handicrafts and the Eastern Zonal Cultural Center of Kolkata.

Swargadwar Beach :

Swargadwar meaning the gateway to the Heaven is a holy place devoid of the modern cultural offing. It is secluded and tranquil, preserving its sacred nature. It is attended by Hindu devotees who come here to take a holy dip in the sea.

Ananda Bazar Darshan :

This is a very large area approximately located on the right side of approaching 22 steps of eastern gate. Numbering of spots identified within the courtyard and a visitors while returning after darshan, pay a visit to this market area where number of traditional sweet stalls are also found. Visitors can purchase the Maha Prasad as well as dried sweets either pack up or sit there for their lunch or dinner. There is a sit out place earmarked for the visitors with water facilities. This is regarded very much auspicious to have the Mahaprasad here. It is evident from the literary sources that Mahaprasad was earlier being sold near lions gate and also in baisi pahacha. So the facilities made and Ananda Bazar might be facilitated during 18th century.
