Embrace Divinity in the Land of Lord Jagannath – Puri

With the splashing waves of the Bay of Bengal welcoming you to Odisha’s spiritual capital, Puri is a popular weekend getaway from Kolkata.

 

Start off with an early morning visit to the Jagannath Temple for seeking the Lord’s blessings, partake in the many rituals performed by the devotees, relish lip-smacking temple bhog, and explore the sprawling compound packed with myths and legends. Later, head out to the beach and dip your feet in the clear blue waters of the Bay of Bengal, munch on some spicy beachside snacks and explore the beach market to pick up souvenirs. You can also stock up on signature Odissi clothes and handicrafts from the Swargadwar Market.
