Light House Beach, Puri

Light House Beach, Puri

"The light house is on new marine drive road, which is at one end of the beach. The revolving light house opens for only one hour to visitors from 4 to 5 in the evening. By paying a marginal fee you can climb to the top of the light house through staircases.

"A lighthouse is a tower, building, or another type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.

"Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks, and safe entries to harbors; they also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and has become uneconomical since the advent of cheaper and often much more effective electronic navigational systems.
