1. INTRODUCTION
Puri District is a coastal District on the eastern part of Odisha, India. This District needs no
introduction, being the abode of Lord Vishnu, most popularly known as Lord Jagannath. This
District derives its name from the heritage city of Puri, one of the four pilgrimage centres of
India. Covering an area of 3051 sq/kms, the District may be divided into two dissimilar natural
divisions-the Littoral tract and the Level alluvial tract. It is located at 19’ 28 N to 200 10’ N
latitudes & 85’ 09 E. To 86’ 25 E longitudes. Its altitude is at sea level.
In 1912, the new province of Bihar and Odisha was formed. Subsequently, Odisha become a
separate province in 1936. After integration of the feudatory states of Nayagarh, Daspalla,
Khandapara and Ranapur with Odisha on 1 January 1948 a separate sub-division comprising
these ex-states was added to Puri district. The fourth sub-division of Bhubaneswar was carried
out on 26 January 1959. The old Puri district consisted of four sub-divisions i.e. Puri Sadar,
Khurdha, Bhubaneswar and Nayagarh. Again by the year 1995, the Puri district was divided
into three districts namely Nayagarh, Khordha & Puri.
Heavy minerals: The beach and sand dune deposit contains heavy minerals
like monazite, rutile, illmenite, zircon etc. Such deposits are seen around
Paikirapur, Nandala, Brahmandeo, Bajrakot and Udegiri over a length of
1
91.23km. The total reserve of heavy minerals in these areas has been
estimated as 147 million tonnes and the average grade of the heavies in
beach sand is 11.8%.
River Sand deposits: River sand deposits occur around Bayakuda, Gop,
Ganeswarpur, Begunia, Sovanpur, Balanga, Haripur, Dhirapur and Chhenua
villages of the district and used as construction material for buildings and
roads.

like Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Sakti cult, Ganapatya, Mahabir etc. are found.
Similarly Muslim Mosques, Christian Churches are also noticed here.
9. PHYSIOGRAPHY
The whole of the district may be divided into two dissimilar natural divisions i) The
littoral tract ii) The level alluvial tract
i) The littoral Tract The strip of the country lies between the alluvial and the Bay of
Bengal. It assumes the form of a bear but sandy ridges which stretch along the
seashore for the full length of the district, Varying from 6.5 km. to a few hundred
metres in with. Accumulations of wind blown sand give rise to ridges parallel to
the coast. It forms the dividing line between the Chilika lake and the ocean
This level of the alluvial region is full of villages and rice fields, watered by a
network of channels, through which the water of distributaries of the most
southerly branch of Mahanadi, find their way to the sea. There is no hill in Puri
District except a small cultivate land are under plough. Generally biali or autumn
rice, sarada or winter rice and dalua or spring rice these three types of rice are
cultivated.
7
Coastal bays
The length of the sea coast of the district of Puri is nearly 150.4 km. Sandy ridges
are found along the sea-coast which stretch into the districts of Jagatsingpur and
Ganjam. One such sandy spit divides the lake Chilika from Bay of Bengal. These
sandy ridges and dunes are formed by the strong monsoon currents which blow
over the country for nearly 8 months of the year. The ridges vary from about 7 km
to a few metres in width and have prevented most of the rivers of the district
from finding their way into the ocean.
River system
All the rivers of Puri district have a common characteristic. In the hot weather,
they are beds of sand with tiny streams or none at all, while in the rains they
receive more water than they can carry. Generally, all rivers are tributaries
of Mahanadi rivers.
1) Kushabhadra River- A branch of the Kuakhai river originates from Balianta and
meets the sea of Bay of Bengal at the shrine of Ramachandi, located 15 miles
east of Puri. Its tributary Mugei joins with Kushabhadra.
2) Daya River- A branch of the Kuakhai river drains into the Chilika lake. Two small
rivers join with the Daya river i.e. the Gangua and the Managuni below Kanas.
Daya river has been attributed with the problem of causing silt build-up in Chilika
Lake.
3) Bhargavi River- A branch of Kuakhai meets the sea of Bay of Bengal after
breaking up into numerous tributaries in the last two and a half miles of its course.
There are four main branches all branching off from the left bank viz. Kanchi, the
East Kania, the Naya Nadi and the South Kanchi (which drains into Sar Lake); and
by various channel the first three are interconnected and finally join the Suna
Munhi river which falls into Bali Harchandi and ultimately drains to the Bay of
Bengal via the mouth of Chilika. The South Kania gets lost in the marshes on the
western shore of Chilika.
4) Kadua River- It is a monsoon fed river that drains into Prachi river.
8
6) Devi River- It is a branch of the Kathajori. It runs into Puri district near the
extreme east forming numerous branches.
There are also a few small rivers worth a mention, chiefly Ratnachira and Nuna,
which drain into Bhargabi river and Daya river respectively.
10. RAINFALL
The district is generally hot with high humidity during April and May and cold during
December and January. The monsoon generally breaks during the month of July
and continues till end of October. The temperature goes as high as up to 460C in the
summer and up to 70-80 C during peak winter.
