January 2008
Puri is not just about spiritual quest and
Lord Jagannath. It has a rich history,
culture and tradition. While an average
tourist knows Puri as the abode of Lord
Jagannath, he does not know much about its
other, equally glorious traditions; its
mouth-watering cuisines, its intricate
handloom and handicraft and its vibrant
akhada culture etc.
Sea fondly called the Mahodadhi is also
quite popular but other glorious traditions
of the city like the handlooms and
handicraft, mouth watering, cruising, the
vibrant martial traditions, folk culture and
classical dance & music etc are little known
to the tourists.
To show case the rich history, culture and
traditions of the holy city, Shreekshetra
Utsav, the Puri festival was conceived for
the 1st time in the year 2005.
The long extravaganza of
art and culture: "Shreekshetra Utsav:
The Puri Festival", is a pure
celebration of everything that's Orissa.
It is all pageantry and colour.
To familiarize the tourist with little
known facets of this captivating city
the "Shreekshetra Utsav: The Puri
Festival" is organised. The said
festival will have the following
components
