Temples in Puri

Puri lies on the Bay of Bengal in Odisha and is the seat of Lord Jagannath, worshipped with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra. It is counted among the Char Dham. The town is organised around the great temple and the Bada Danda, the broad road down which the chariots are drawn during the Rath Yatra each summer.

Best time to visit: October to March for the weather. The Rath Yatra, in Ashadha (June or July), is the great festival.
