Beautiful temple and an impressive list of places to go. I imagine that your boys enjoyed the beaches more than the rest of the sightseeing! When they grow up they will want to come back to appreciate the history and beauty ;>)

What a neat place
ReplyDeleteI am glad you all liked this place. We shall explore this place in some more detail.

ReplyDeleteI have been to Puri few times and like the place a lot. Thanks for the snaps.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos..it is one of my favourite places to spend the vacations...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures, so much of our history and heritage there!
ReplyDeleteCould u suggest economical hotel in Bhubneshwar & Puri ?
ReplyDeleteThe beach is lovely. There are many other secluded beaches nearby. For the religious minded people, the Char dham yatra starts from Puri, then Rameshwaram, followed by Dwarka and ending at Badrinath.
