Puri, Religious city in Odisha, India.
Located on the Bay of Bengal, Puri extends along the eastern coast with sandy beaches and traditional architecture surrounding the Jagannath Temple complex.
The city came under British administration in 1803, followed by notable events including the Raja of Khurda rebellion and peasant uprisings between 1817 and 1818.
The Ratha Yatra festival features three massive wooden chariots carrying deities through the streets, drawing millions of Hindu devotees from across India.
Visitors can reach Puri through direct trains from major cities like Kolkata and Bhubaneswar, with the nearest airport located 60 kilometers away.
The city maintains traditional palm leaf manuscript production, where artisans inscribe ancient texts and illustrations on dried palm leaves using specialized techniques.
