2006 - 2nd January 2007
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.
