Puri, 8th July. During her four-day visit to Odisha for the Jagannath Ratha Yatra and other events, President Droupadi Murmu strolled along a Puri beach early in the morning.
She shared her thoughts and photos during her vacation to Puri’s Golden Beach during her hectic schedule.”There are places that bring us in closer touch with the essence of life and remind us that we are part of nature,” the woman wrote in the caption of some of the photos she shared from her trip to the beach.
