Ramachandi Temple & Beach
ରାମଚଣ୍ଡୀ
A goddess temple and beach at the Kushabhadra River mouth, where boats can be taken to the meeting point of river and sea. It is a popular stop on the Puri–Konark Marine Drive.
The temple honors Ramachandi, the guardian goddess of Konark, and sits on dunes at the mouth of the Kushabhadra River. On one side is a calm river bend, where you can take small boats or ride jet skis. On the other side is the Bay of Bengal beach. The river bend is a favorite picnic spot for locals on winter weekends. The sea here has strong waves, so swimming is not advised. It is about 25 km from Puri and 8 km from Konark, and an hour's stop on the way is enough.
