Puri Tour Packages

Puri, also popularly called as Jagannath Puri, is one of the four great celebrated pilgrim cities of India, situated at different points of the compass, the other three being Rameshwaram in the south, Dwarka in the west and Badrinath in the north. Like Dwarka on the west coast, Puri is situated on the coast-line in the midst of sylvan surroundings and has a temperate and bracing climate. The Puri temple is the great object of Hindu pilgrimage, and is annually visited by enormous numbers. Puri tour for Hindu devotees is a ‘tirth yatra’. Puri is sacred to Vishnu and known to every hamlet and town in India as the abode of Jagannath ‘the Lord of the World’. The city and the temple are set in beautiful surroundings. Surrounded by waving rice-fields on three sides and the sea on the east, Puri lies in the delta of the Mahanadi. The temple, one of the most revered temples in India, dominates the country around. Especially in rainy July when the air is clear and translucent, the pale-tinted ‘shikhar’ of the temple, rising 192 feet in height, surmounted by the wheel and trident of Vishnu, affords a most inspiring and noble sight for miles around.
