About
Jagannath Puri or Purusottama Puri is a pilgrimage town with the famous temple of Jagannath (means Lord of the Universe) and is a major tourist destination with all its beautiful and pleasant sights. There are many hotels; most overseas tourists stay near the beach. The Sun Temple at Konark is also nearby. If you go to Puri by road from Bhubaneswar you will go past Pipli with its beautiful applique handicrafts, worth a look. The Puri sea beach is a major attraction with its fantastic sea face view and golden sand; the water is a bit rough (which is good if you like to surf).
