Jammed packed streets, brightly painted houses, pastiches of colonial buildings, Puri has its own charm. Known for dominating the skyline with temples, there are a lot of temples in Puri. These temples are visited by innumerable tourists, particularly by the ardent devotees of the religion of Hinduism, all round the year.
The Jagannath Temple in particular is one of the most visited tourist spot in Puri. As a kid, I had visited the Jagannath Temple with my family. However, during one of my recent trip to Puri I had the golden opportunity to visit this spiritual place again. I was in Puri for some office-related work, when one of my colleages suggested everyone to explore the temple. Little had I know that this one visit would help me connect with my spiritual self.
There is no dearth of accommodation in Puri. We were staying in this hotel in Puri near the Jagannath Temple, the temple being a few minutes walk away from our hotel; it was really easy for us to make our way to the temple. Once there we were shocked to see how crowded the place was, honestly speaking who cares about that, when you are there to connect with yourself spiritually. After hours of waiting in the line we finally get to see the aarti and the pooja, and it was worth the wait. Our minds were cleansed and there was a new kind of energy, which was positive in every inch, inside of us. Personally speaking, I have never felt so powerful, yet calm before. I would love to visit the temple again!
