PIPILI/BHUBANESWAR:Today, on the 45th day of the chariot construction, the chariot builders arrived at the chariot yard before 8:00 am, gave their presence, and began the chariot construction work under the guidance of the Chief Maharana.
*Chariot construction progress*
(Yesterday, after the completion of the three-wheeled road construction work with auspicious pujas, the three-wheeled road construction work was completed by bringing the three-wheeled road construction work forward and backward, gargling and making noise.)
*The pole is twisted on both sides of the pole*
As the three-day ‘Chari Nahaka’ is scheduled to be held this afternoon, the preparations for it were completed this morning.
This morning, on the advice of the Chief Maharana, under the supervision of Bhoi Sardar Ravi Bhoi, the Bhoi servants have connected or twisted five poles on both sides of the three chariots, one *Pol Gayal* on each side with the front and rear rails. In addition, seven bolts to hold the said Pol Gayal and one Asuvari Patka bolt on each side have been pierced and set. In addition, to make it easier to lift the four wheels of the three chariots, today the Bhoi servants have completed the work of putting button wood on the Pol Gayal and attaching it to it.
*The festival of rising of the three chariots and four Nahakas has been completed with appropriate worship*
This afternoon, after a fitting puja by the chief of the three chariots, the Bhoi Sevaks led by Sardar Ravi Bhoi, concluded the Chari Nahaka Ukraba Parva by connecting the four Nahakas of the three chariots to the Gargara Bindha.
*The Rupkar Sevaks have completed the carving of the images on the altar thrones of the three chariots and are continuing the polishing work of the images.
