The coastal city of Puri in Odisha lies on the Bay of Bengal, 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of the state capital, Bhubaneswar. It is also known as Jagannath Puri after the city's 12th-century Jagannath Temple. It is one of the original Char Dham pilgrimage sites for Hindus. Ratha Yatra and related festivals are renowned attractions attended by millions of people every year. Sand art and applique art are among the city's important crafts.
Having gained popularity among hippies back in the 1970s due to the legalisation of Bhang (a form of cannabis), Puri is still a popular destination among backpackers; however, the availability of bhang is now limited.
Puri Sea Beach is a major attraction, with fantastic sea-facing views and golden sand, although the water can be a bit rough. There are many places near Puri to visit, like Chilika Lake, Puri Beach, Gundicha Ghar, and the famous Sun Temple of Konark.
