Jagannath Temple Puri
Puri, Odisha
One of Hinduism's Char Dham — the 12th-century shrine of Lord Jagannath whose towering shikhara flies a flag changed daily by climbers, whose kitchen feeds tens of thousands, and whose Rath Yatra sends colossal chariots surging through a sea of devotees each summer.

Puri Beach
Puri, Odisha
The golden pilgrim beach where sand artists sculpt at dawn — camel rides, the November sand-art festival and the Bay's warm rolling surf.

Puri Rath Yatra Grand Road
Puri, Odisha
The 3-km Bada Danda where three colossal chariots roll each Ashadha — the festival that gave the world the word 'juggernaut', pulled by a million hands.
Gundicha Temple
Puri, Odisha
The 'garden house' where Jagannath sojourns for nine days each Rath Yatra — a serene walled temple in its own green compound.

Puri, Odisha
The 'witness Gopal' temple between Bhubaneswar and Puri — Krishna who walked from Vrindavan to testify to a promise, a beloved pilgrim halt.

Raghurajpur Heritage Village

The pattachitra painters' village — every one of its 120 verandah homes an artist's studio, birthplace of Gotipua dance and Odissi legend Kelucharan.

Balighai Beach

A quiet casuarina beach 8 km from Puri where the Nuanai river meets the sea — a sea-turtle research station and empty golden sand.
