Having grown up in Kolkata, one of the mandatory places I would visit with my family during term breaks was Puri, Odisha. Puri not just has energetic beaches but is most famous for its centuries-old Jagannath Temple. So, a typical day in Puri looked like this – visit the temple in the morning, head to the beach after having breakfast, splash amidst the violent waves, have lunch and rest a while, and then head to the main beach again to enjoy the evening meals, food stalls and shops.

During the summers, Puri’s beaches are under the scorching heat and hence, to expect any flowers to grow on the beach would seem unrealistic. However, as winter approaches, some of Puri’s beaches get covered with these gorgeous pink flowers called ‘morning glory’. These flowers, found in shades of violet and pink, open up as the sun rises and closes its petals in the dark.
