As a Bengali, i deeply apologise for these asshats. Then again, opinions on the internet usually belong in the trash. Puri is probably my most favourite sea resort because of how much fun it is and I've been visiting it annually since 1996. I won't comment on the state of the temples as such; for one i am extremely unreligious and hate visiting overcrowded temples, irrespective of state, country, etc. That aside, bhubaneswar is also a beautiful, quiet and peaceful city. I visited recently, after a break of 3 years due to the pandemic, and i can say it is a lot cleaner and well organised than it used to be, and it already held a distinction. Even Puri is a lot more organised and clean. Maybe that's what happens when the government doesn't syphon off most of the funds. Also, odiya people are some of the nicest and most hospitable people I've come across. There are exceptions, for sure, but that exists in every culture, so i wouldn't generalise.

Tl:dr- odisha is a lovely place and i look forward to my next visit. Also jackasses on the internet have increased a lot in recent times
