The best trips are always unplanned. It was a Diwali (one of the biggest festivals of India) vacation when we visited our parent's place to celebrate it together. My mom had always wished to see Jagannath Puri once in her lifetime. We had still 3 to 4 days to vacation gets over, so we thought of taking her to this one of the Tirth (pilgrimage) of Hindu's Jagannath Puri. Jagannath Puri is famous for the ancient temple of Lord Jagannath , Balbadhra and Devi Subhadra. Lord Jagannath is one of the Avatara (form) of Lord Vishnu(one among the 3 trinity Gods of Hindu's). Most of the Hindu temples worship idols made up of stone Idols, but different to that tradition the Jagannatha Temple Idols are carved with wood. Every 12 to13 years the Lord's  Idols get replaced by new ones. The building of Jagannatha Temple is initiated by Kalinga King AnantaVarman Chodaganga of Ganga Dynasty.

It was a sudden plan and due to long weekends flight tickets cost were high and most of the resorts and beach hotels were gone sold out.
