The short answer
When to go to Raghurajpur
November to February is the best window, with dry, mild days that suit walking the street and sitting in studios. March is workable if you go early. Avoid May to September for heat, humidity and heavy monsoon rain, which makes lanes muddy and the visit tiring. October can be wet and carries cyclone risk. Older visitors should aim for morning visits in the cooler months and plan an afternoon rest in Puri.
