Puri ist eine Mittelstadt in Indien mit eigener Mischung aus Alltag, Kultur und Geschichte. Ein Spaziergang durch das Zentrum gibt einen guten ersten Eindruck. Kleinere Stadtrundgänge und thematische Touren machen den Unterschied — sie zeigen die Ecken, die man sonst schnell übersieht.

Bei GetYourGuide öffnen →Puri, also known as Jagannath Puri, is a coastal city and a Municipal Corporation in the state of Odisha in eastern India. It is the district headquarters of Puri district and is situated on the Bay of Bengal, 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of the state capital of Bhubaneswar. It is home to the 12th-century Jagannath Temple and is one of the original Char Dham pilgrimage sites for Hindus. Puri has been known by several names since ancient times and was locally known as "Sri Kshetra" and the Jagannath temple is known as "Badadeula". Puri and the Jagannath Temple were invaded 18 times by Muslim rulers, from the 7th century AD until the early 19th century with the objective of looting the treasures of the temple. Odisha, including Puri and its temple, were part of British India from 1803 until India attained independence in August 1947. Even though princely states do not exist in India today, the heirs of the House of Gajapati still perform the ritual duties of the temple. The temple town has many Hindu religious mathas or monasteries.
