Day 5:
Relax on the Beach. Fine white sands, roar of the breakers
rolling in from the Bay of Bengal and countless devotees
flocking the place for a purification dip are the synonyms to
the Puri Beach. The beach has continued to be a
sacred venue for an endless number of pilgrims coming to pay homage to
Lord Jagannath. With the annual Beach Festival taking place in November,
the beach has now become a favorite haunt of both Indian and foreign beach
lovers. Located at a mere distance of 35 kms from the Sun Temple and 65
kms from Bhubaneshwar, the beach is an ideal place for an introvert holiday
maker for the scarcity of crowd here. The beaches of Puri are also renowned
for the sand sculptures created particularly by the internationally famed
Sudarshan Patnaik. The subjects are generally inspired by sculptures
covering the temple walls, characters and episodes from the mythology and
also the contemporary events. An entire beach stretch can be completely
yours given the immense number of beaches in Orissa and a comparatively
lower number of fun lovers, the city being a popular pilgrimage point for
Indians. The beach at Puri offers a unique opportunity to witness the striking
sunrise and the sunset on the same beach. Overnight stay at hotel.
