Orissa is a mystical land filled with ancient temples,inspiring monuments,thous thou of master craftsmen and artists,numer num wildlife sanctuaries and stunning natural landscapes.
Jagannath temple in Puri being one of the 'char dhams' is the pilgrimage that every Hindu wants to visit. I went there with my parents and family friends. The structural design of the temple is in a pyramid shape. There are idols of Lord Jagannath, accompanied by Subhadra and Balabhadra. If you are a devotee of a Krishna you should definitel visit the temple. It is believed that the divine ambience of the temple cleanses the soul.
Our next destination was the Puri beach. It is one of the wonderful destinations for holidaying. The sun kissed beaches wetting your feet and the gentle wind makes you feel like you are in a dream world. It was mesmerizing to watch the romantic sunrise and sunset.
The place I loved the most in Orissa is the Konark sun temple. It is a true masterpiece of ancient architecture . The temple is designed in the shape of a chariot with seven horses and twelve wheels carrying the sun God, Surya across the heaven.All around the temple there were magnificent floral and geometric designs, carved sculptures of divine people in sensuous poses, dancers, dieties and all the life forms and activities depicting life.
As an animal lover it was mandatory to go to the Nandankanan zoological park . There were enthralling facilities like boating, white tiger and lion safaris, reptile park and a nocturnal animal house.
It was a great opportunity to discover unique flora and fauna flourishing in their most natural habitat.
The only regret I had about the whole trip was not being able to go to the famous chilka lake as we were running short of time but I'd definitely love to go there again.
