Puri the abode of Sri
Jagannath or the Lord of the Universe is famous all over the world. The
golden triangle of Puri, Konark and Bhubaneswar is too popular both with the
domestic and foreign tourists. One of the four holiest places (Dhams) of India,
Puri has been a great centre of pilgrimage for centuries Once on thickly wooded
hills and inhabited by the Sabaras, pre Aryan and pre-Dravidian tribes of the
Austric linguistic family, Puri located right on the shores of the Bay of
Bengal, is today one of the finest sea resorts as well. Its salubrious environs
and sunny beach attract tourists from near and distant places. Watching the
sunrise here is an elevating and unforgettable experience.The place can be
visited any time throughout the year. Puri is always thronged with pilgrims and
tourists but it is nothing compared to the motley and seething humanity which
sojourn here during Rath Yatra or the Car Festival.
