| About Puri Tourism |
One of the oldest cities on the eastern coast of Orissa, Puri has the usual highlights of a beach town and is soaked in history. Better known for the world-famous Jagannath Temple, Puri is one of the four dhams (sacred religious centres) in India, others being, Rameswaram, Badrinath and Dwarka. This port city was ruled by the Kalinga rulers before the British took over. Dotted with temples, maths and ashrams, Puri largely remains a holy city and is part of the Eastern Golden Triangle which comprises Puri, Konark and the capital city of Bhubhaneswar, which is 60 Km from Puri.

Subrata Roy | | | Should I check out the Puri Rath Yatra? | | So here is what I am thinking. Should I plan a visit to Puri during the Rath yatra on the 4th of July? I have been thinking of going back to Orissa for a visit since the last time I went there was almost 22 years ago. Is that a good time to go, even though it is likely to be i the middle of the monsoon? Look forward to some ideas & guidance from HIQers.
