Puri Candid !
This is Puri. Particularly this stretch of the beach is called Sargadwar or Gateway to Haven ! For generations Puri has remained the most popular destination of Bengali Babu (when they need a short or a very long vacation) . Lord Jagannath (if not more at least ) as Popular in Bengal as in Orissa.
Bengalies spend most part of the day in this part of Puri , very early morning you will find them searching for "one Sun rise shot " , after some time when the Boats will come back laden with fish , they will start searching for " Fresh Pomfret , Pabda or Chingri Maach " aake bare Joler Dorey ! Then they will come out armed with Gamcha, Towel , in Night gown, Nighty , Barmuda, Lungi .... to fight with the Wave and shriek at the top of their voice , Tender coconut helps them to remain hydrated. In the evening just Adda on the beach with fried prawn....
Not so long ago if any of our relatives son/daughter remained missing for a couple of day then invariably he or she used to come back as Couple with Palm Leaf basket ( full of Jibhey Goja) in hand , proving that they got married at Jagannath temple and spent their honeymoon in Puri. Still Puri is one of the most popular Honeymoon destination for a large section of Bengali.
Some how me and my Kids feel better if we can soak in this culture for an hour or so and go back to our temporary residence 5 KM away from the Gateway of Haven !
Take a look , if you come to this part of India then you can always stay in Sterling , nice Duplex apartment is available www.sterlingholidays.com/photo-gallery/photo-gallery
