The Golden Triangle of Odisha consists of three equally captivating and culturally vibrant destinations which are all unique in their own way: Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark. A visit to these three destinations takes guests on a breathtaking journey of novel experiences and scenic beauty.

PURI:
Puri is an ancient temple town and is also known by its alternative name Jagannath Puri, referencing the Jagannath Temple located in the city. The name of the city is mentioned in the ancient Hindu texts of the Puranas as one of the 7 holy cities in India and is a part of the Char Dham Pilgrimage. Puri is also famous for its lakes, rivers and beaches and is best visited during winters. The city is rich in culture and heritage from its history dating since the 3rd century BC. Puri is famous for its temples, festivities and cultural festivals. Let’s discuss about the best places one can visit in the holy town of Puri.
KONARK:
The Konark Sun Temple is probably the highest point in Orissa temple architecture. Shaped in the form of a giant chariot with exquisitely carved wheels and pillars, the temple is dedicated to the Sun god- Surya Deva. The word Konark comes from the merger of two Sanskrit words- Kona meaning corner and Arka meaning Sun. It is a symbol of the mathematical prowess of the ancient scholars and skilled workmanship of the sculptors.
CHILIKA:
The journey from Puri to Chilka Lake will itself charm you as it brings alive the rustic life of Orissa. Known as the largest brackish water lake in Asia, it is the largest wintering ground for migratory birds on the Indian sub-continent, housing various rare species of birds. Apart from various domestic birds, the lake also habitats many migratory birds from Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Himalayas. The birds come to the Chilka Lake in between October and March, best time to visit being during the winter season.
Rich in waterbirds and other aquatic creatures as well, the major attraction of this place is the Irrawaddy Dolphin that one can see swimming in the waters of the lake. You can also see the famous Chilika Dolphins in Satapada (50 km from Puri), which is the junction of Chilika Lake and Bay of Bengal.
