"This beautiful city is situated in the state of Odisha in Eastern India which is just 60kn from the state of capital. Puri the very ancient land of Lord Jagannath, is one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in the country. Out of four Char Dham, it is one of the sacred places for Hindus. This Char Dham was established by Adi Shankaracharya. If we trace back historically during the ancient time this place was also known as "Sri Kshetra" (as the wealthy land) & it was invaded 18 times by Hindu & Muslim rulers for the temple's rich treasures. Most tourists visit this sacred place during the vibrant festival i.e., Rath Yatra the Chariot Festival. The holy worshippers not only come to worship in the temple but they also go for a sun basking on the beach which makes it one of the popular destinations all across the world. One of the interesting parts is that the humble Golden Beach of Puri has transformed into a Blue Flag Beach and officially ranked as Indian's Cleanest Beach on 28th December 2020."
