Raghurajpur Artist Village

Raghurajpur is India's only designated heritage crafts village — a living cultural museum 14 km from Puri where every household practices traditional Odishan arts including Pattachitra painting, palm leaf engraving, and stone carving. Walking its painted lanes is one of the most authentic cultural sightseeing experiences in eastern India. A top Puri day-trip destination for art and culture enthusiasts. Free to walk through; purchase artwork directly from artisan families. Best visited in the morning.
