Guidelines for Tourists Visiting Puri

To ensure a smooth, safe, and respectful travel experience in Puri and across Odisha, we strongly encourage all our guests to follow these essential guidelines:

• Mandatory Identification: Always carry a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhar Card, Voter ID, or Driving License). This is mandatory for hotel check-ins and is often required by local authorities during transit.
• Jagannath Temple Etiquette:
  • Dress Code: Wear modest traditional Indian attire. Avoid wearing shorts, skirts, or sleeveless tops when entering the temple premises.
  • Prohibited Items: Leather items (belts, wallets, bags), mobile phones, and cameras are strictly prohibited inside the Jagannath Temple. Please use the designated lockers provided outside.
  • Entry Restrictions: Please note that the main temple is open only to Hindus. Non-Hindus can view the magnificent temple complex from the Raghunandan Library rooftop nearby.
• Beach Safety: Puri beaches can have strong undercurrents. Only swim in designated safe areas and completely avoid going deep into the sea after sunset. Always follow the instructions of the local Life Guards.
• Eco-Tourism and Littering: Odisha is home to sensitive ecosystems like Chilika Lake. Avoid using single-use plastics and ensure you do not litter at heritage sites or beaches.
• Health and Hydration: Coastal weather can be highly humid. Carry bottled water, use sunscreen, and wear hats during sightseeing to prevent heat exhaustion.
• Booking Verification: Ensure all cab and tour bookings are confirmed through official channels. Always verify the driver’s details and vehicle number before starting your journey.
