The material for this short work are extracted from the following works: 1) Dr. Rajendralal Mitras ‘Antiquities of Orrisa’ 2) W.W. Hunters ‘Imperial Gazatteer of India” and 3) Sterlings’s Orrisa. These books are the standard works for researchers all over. The division of the book is clear and concise: it notices the Temple, the sacred Food, the festivals the Pilgrims and Peculiarities connected with the worship at Puri. The book ends with a short note the antiquity of the Aryan Religion. This book is a reprint of the 1894 edition.

Raja Rajendralal Mitra was among the first Indian cultural researcher and historian writing in English. A polymath, and a member of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, he was a pioneer figure in the Bengali Renaissance. Mitra was appointed librarian-cum-assistant-secretary of the Asiatic Society in April 1846. He held the office for nearly 10 years, vacating it in February 1856. He was subsequently elected as the Secretary of the Society and was later appointed to the governing council. He was elected vice-president on three occasions, and in 1885 Mitra became the first Indian president of the Asiatic Society. Mitra was a noted antiquarian and played a substantial role in discovering and deciphering historical inscriptions, coins and texts. He established the relation between Shaka era and Gregorian calendar, thus identifying the year of Kanishka's ascent to the throne, and contributed to an accurate reconstruction of the history of Medieval Bengal, especially that of the Pala and Sena dynasties, by deciphering historical edicts.
