Orissa
Description:
Ancient Orissa has its own unique culture and a special flavor in architecture. Jagannatha in Puri is a city where the most ancient and very merciful deities live: Lord Jagannatha, Goddess Subhadra and Lord Balarama. Once a year there is a huge festival of Ratha-yatra, when the Deities on chariots go to Gundicha Mandir and thousands of pilgrims with the help of ropes move these chariots.
The tour includes a visit to this sacred city, relaxing on the beach and an excursion to the beautiful Lake Chilica, where you can watch dolphins and many species of birds living on islands with picturesque nature.
