Orissa, on India's eastern coast, has a tropical climate with hot summers (up to 104°F/40°C) and mild winters (around 77°F/25°C). It's famous for the ancient Jagannath Temple in Puri and the 13th-century Sun Temple at Konark, a UNESCO site shaped like a giant chariot. Winters from October to February are best for relaxing on Puri's golden sand beaches or spotting dolphins in Chilika Lake, while summers bring the wild Rath Yatra festival when thousands pull the giant chariots through Puri's streets. The coastal area offers seafood and surfing, while inland Bhubaneswar has over 700 temples, including the 11th-century Lingaraja Temple.
