Why Not Puri? Orissa, India
With smiling faces on every corner of every street, a thriving seafood industry and a slow paced feel to a beautiful beachside town, Puri has a lot to offer to a wide range of tourists, both local and foreign. With a population of roughly 150,000 people, Puri is not only recognized as being one of the four holiest places of Hinduism but also the home to Lord Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe and is highly regarded throughout India for this reason.
Many people are drawn to Puri each year for different reasons and taking a stroll along the main C.T Road shows how the fusion of local and foreign, holy and unaware fuse together in creating a mix of ancient practice and new age travel that works in a harmonious manor.
