Rath Yatra Days
During the Rath Yatra, lakhs of devotees fill Puri's Grand Road in the heat and humidity of June or July. Police, volunteers, hotel staff and traders work very long days. Heat exhaustion, dehydration and crowd injuries are common. A certificate for the days you missed can help with your employer.
Strong Currents at the Beach
Puri's beach has strong currents and undertow, and drownings happen most years. Swim only where lifeguards are present and follow flag warnings. If someone is pulled out of the water and isn't breathing normally, call 108 straight away.
Fishing Families
Fishing families along the Puri coast lose income when someone falls ill. If a boat owner or co-op needs proof, a certificate showing your dates can help. Injuries at sea need an in-person check.
Visitors Who Fall Ill
Many visitors come to Puri for the temple and the beach and end up ill from heat, food or the sea. If you need a note for your employer back home, you can apply from your hotel.
A Hotel Worker's Request
A waiter at a beach hotel catches a stomach infection during the Rath Yatra rush. They miss two shifts. The hotel wants a certificate. They apply, list the symptoms and the dates. The doctor asks about fluids and blood in the stool and, with no warning signs, issues a certificate.
Puri Through the Year
- March to June: heat and humidity
- June or July: Rath Yatra, with huge crowds
- July to September: monsoon, stomach infections and fevers
- October to February: cyclone risk in October and November, then pleasant weather and peak tourist season
Temple Servitors and Shopkeepers
Many families in Puri depend on the temple, as servitors, shopkeepers or guides. Festival days mean very long hours. If you fall ill and need proof for an employer or institution, a certificate can help.
Common Reasons in Puri
