In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Dhiti blog: The Navakalevara Ceremony at PuriPuri (also known as Śrīkṣetra or Puruṣottama Kṣetra) has been a sacred site for time immemorial. The Blue Hill (Nīlādri, or Nīlācala, the conch or tortoise-shaped hill and eternal abode of Śrī Jagannātha, Śrī Baladeva, Śrī Subhadrā and Sudarśana-cakra) on which the temple is situated is known as the eternal place, the nityaśāla of Kṛṣṇa. Jagannāth, has been there since the beginning of creation and shall remain for all of time to come. [...] Of the twelve major festivals that take place annually at Puri, the Ratha Yatra [rathayātrā] is the most widely known. However, besides the rath yatra, there are other, lesser known, more intimately conducted rituals that take place: of note are those associated with the navakalevara. This piece describes the fascinating ritual of navakalevara that happens periodically at Puri—with special attention paid to the involvement and crucial importance of non-Brahmin jātis and tribes in various rituals—which speaks to the syncretism and inter-dependence of various castes at the shrine.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsPurī (पुरी) refers to a “town”, according to the Yogaśāstra vol. 2, p. 859, l. 5.—Accordingly, “Also Nami, knowing the difference between the self and wealth, said to Indra with regard to the burning of the town (pur-dāha), in the burning of the town (purī) of Mithilā nothing burns me”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Source: Google Books: Medieval Orissa: A Socio-economic StudyPuri refers to one of the various Urban centers (nagari) of ancient India (Medieval Orissa).— Urban centers generally represent a socio-economic organization different from that of rural settlements; but the records, apart from providing a few names, do not furnish any details at all regarding the urban centres that existed in this period. Such centres [e.g., Puri] [...] may be supposed to have had a predominantly agricultural population. Such centres as Bhubaneswar might also have been purely religious centres. [...]
Source: archive.org: Geography in Ancient Indian inscriptionsPurī (पुरी).—Aihole inscription of Pulakeśin II (634 A.D.) informs us that Pulakeśin, the Cālukya king besieged Purī, the fortune of the Western sea. The exact identity of Purī is uncertain. It was the chief town of the Northern Koṅkaṇa from the time of early Cālukyas. In the light of the Alberuni’s statement about the capital of Koṅkaṇa, it has been suggested that the ancient site of Purī should be looked for at or near modern Thana, the chief town of the district of the same name in Maharashtra.
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsPurī (पुरी) is mentioned as a synonym for “town” or “city” according to the Amarakośa 2.2.
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasPurī (पुरी) is the name of a village mentioned in the Kanherī cave inscription of Pullaśakti. Koṅkaṇa including Purī and other places is North Koṅkaṇ, of which the ancient capital was Purī. The location of Purī is not yet quite certain. Some identify it with the island of Elephanta near Bombay, but, as pointed out by Cousens, this island, during the greater part of the monsoon is cut off to a great extent by rough seas. Cousens proposed to locate the place at a site about a mile north of Mārol village in the island of Sāṣṭī, where extensive ruins of old temples are noticed. The site is not, however, known by the name of Purī. Another identification suggested is with Rājapurī in the former Janjīrā State; but this place would be too far south for a capital of North Koṅkaṇ.
These copper plates (mentioning Purī) are incised in the caves at Kānherī near Bombay. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the illustrious Pullaśakti, who meditated on the feet of the illustrious Kapardin. This date (saṃvat 765) must evidently be referred to the Śaka era, in which all the inscriptions of the Śilāhāras are dated. It corresponds to A.D. 843-44. The object of the inscription is to record that Viṣṇugupta, son of Pūrṇahari, made certain grants of money for ( the worship of) the Bhagavat (Buddha), the repairs of the vihāra, the clothing of the monks and the purchase of their (religious) books at Kṛṣṇagiri.

For example, at Puri there is an inscription in a stone in the wall of the Siddha-Hanumān temple. Some letters look like Oriya and Bengali and others Moḍi. Indifferently engraved. Purport not clear.
Source: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Trade: A SurveyPuri is the name of a country mentioned in connection with overseas trading in ancient India.—The 7th-century Chinese traveller Hsuan Tsang noted that merchants left from Puri “for distant countries”.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
