What our travellers think of their stay

Simon Hoffmann

Travel writer

Puri is an Odisha State town, in eastern India. It's also one of the country's holiest sites.

My suggestion

During July, Puri holds the Rath-Yatra Festival, when 3 chariots cross the town to reach the Gundicha Temple. Each chariot bears an effigy of a god, in this case those of Balabhadra, Subhadra and Jagannath.
