People from the neighbouring state throng Puri in large numbers every year to pay obeisance at Jagannath Temple and laze around on the beautiful beaches of the pilgrim town. However, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee dreamt of having her own resembling the 12th-century Puri shrine in the state and this is being realised on a 20-acre plot in Purba Medinipur district by West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation
