Puri lies in the eastern part of India and is a very famous city in the state of
Orissa. The city is also called Jagannath Puri after the famous Jagannath Puri temple.
A major part of the population of Puri gets their income from tourist related activities.
Puri is an important religious town in India and is the site of the Govardhana matha,
one of the
four cardinal institutions established by Adi Shankaracharya.
Puri is very well known for its annual Ratha Yatra which mostly happens in the month
of July. The yatra is also called the "Festival of Chariots". During the festival
the deities of the Jagannath temple, Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, are brought
out of the temple, and placed in a chariot procession. Thousands of people from
all over the country attend the festival in Puri. The town is also known for its
many Mathas (monasteries of the various Hindu sects).
Puri has a beautiful beach with its very unique and breath taking view of both the
sunrises and the sunsets. The city is also the gateway to the famous Konark temple
and houses the world famous mother centre of Kriya Yoga. To accommodate the
thousands of people who visit the holy city, there are many hotels in the city. They are mostly
run by the local people. These are the means of revenue for them and also give job
opportunities to many others.
There are also many restaurants serving seafood, traditional Oriya Cuisine, Indian
(vegetarian and non-vegetarian), Chinese and Continental cuisine. Thus, the tourism
industry in Puri has the potential to employ most of its population. A part of the
population is also employed in the arts and crafts industry where they make beautiful
handicrafts which are famous everywhere. This part of the country is famous for
stone sculptures, palm leaf paintings, tassar paintings, pottery, Papier Mache products,
sand art and appliqué work. These handicrafts are sold all over the country and
also exported and provide revenue to many and also creates job opportunities for
the local skilled artists. Like the other parts of the country, people in Puri also
depend on agriculture as their source of income. Crops like wheat, rice, maize,
ragi, pulses, vegetables, groundnut and oilseeds are grown here. These are also
offered to the deity.
The agricultural produce is sold locally and also in the nearby towns. The population
of the holy city of Puri has many job opportunities for the people in the field
of tourism, art and crafts and also agriculture. With more development in the city
more job opportunities can be created in other areas as well.
