Puri Tourism
Puri
one of the four holiest places in India, Puri is washed by the sea, and embraced
by causarina - fringed beaches. It is said that one obtains 'moksha' from the
cycle of birth and rebirth, if one stays here for three days and nights.
Puri is the hallowed seat of Lord Jagannath (Lord of the Universe), Subhadra
and Balabhadra. One of the four holy
dhams of Hinduism, Puri is possibly
one of the very few religious sites which combines the outdoor pleasures of
sea and divine beaches with the religious sentiments of 'darshan'.
A place, known by many names over the centuries - Nilgiri, Niladri, Nilachal,
Purushottam, Sankhakshetra, Srikshetra, Jagannath Dham, Jagannath Puri - Puri
is dominated by two great forces, one created by God, and the other by man.
