We will drive to the Sun Temple at Konârak, located on the eastern shores of the Indian subcontinent, is one of the outstanding examples of temple architecture and art as revealed in its conception, scale and proportion, and in the sublime narrative strength of its sculptural embellishment. It is an outstanding testimony to the 13th-century kingdom of Orissa and a monumental example of the personification of divinity, thus forming an invaluable link in the history of the diffusion of the cult of Surya,the Sun God. In this sense, it is directly and materially linked to Brahmanism and tantricbelief systems. The Sun Temple is the culmination of Kalingan temple architecture, with all its defining elements in complete and perfect form. A masterpiece of creative genius in both conception and realisation, the temple represents a chariot of the Sun God, with twelve pairs of wheels drawn by seven horses evoking its movement across the heavensAmalgamated with romance, legend, and history at Odisha’s Chandrabhaga beach creates an ethereal atmosphere that draws writers, painters, and lovers. The Chandrabhaga beach is the only beach in India to be awarded Blue Flag Certification on World Environment Day for its cleanliness and ambience. It is also going to be mentioned on the world map soon. This beach is located on Odisha’s Konark coast is now the most pristine beach in India in the literal sense, which means that the next time you want to visit a clean and pleasant beach in India, go no farther than Odisha. The beach draws people because of its breathtaking beauty, but it is still relatively uncrowded and well-maintained.The Jagannath Temple is an important Hindu temple dedicated to Jagannath, a form of Vishnu – one of the trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism. Puri is in the state of Odisha, on the eastern coast of India. King Indradyumna of Avanti has built the main temple of Jagannath at Puri. This 11th-century temple gave rise to the word "juggernaut," as well as some mysteries that defy scientific explanation.Drop off from Puri to Bhubneswar
