PURI:Today, on the 56th day of the construction of the chariot, the servants arrived at the chariot yard as usual before 8:00 am, took the instructions of the chief Maharana, and began the construction work.
*Chariot construction progress*
(As of yesterday, a large number of thal pots were installed on the third floor frame of the three chariots, and the work of attaching the tags or buttons was in progress before attaching the upper planks of the chariot.)
*Original scissors fell on three carriages*
This afternoon, under the supervision of the Chief Maharana, the associate Maharana Bhoi Sevaks along with the three chariots’ original scissors or four-legged scissors were laid on both sides of the three chariots (to strengthen the ground of the three chariots, these scissors have been fitted by crossing the four-legged scissors from the base on the inner side of the four-legged scissors).
** In addition, the Maharana Sevak, who is working on the chariots, is continuing the construction of the remaining three pillars.
** In addition, the Maharana Sevaks have completed the construction of eight gates and four gates to enclose the three-way door.
** In addition, today, for the horse setting of the three chariots, one *char parichha* fitting and a peg have been installed at the bottom of the front of the three chariots. This char parichha is connected to the iron and helps in attaching the horses to the chariot.
** In addition, today, the setting work has been completed on three chariots, two in a row, with three chariots brought forward and two in a row.
*Rupkar Chali*
The Rupkar Sevaks carved lotus flowers, peacocks and creepers on each of the three chariots, and after finishing, they provided the three chariots to the Bhoi Sevaks for fitting. They also carved the Kandarpa shape on the three legs of the chariot to enclose the door.

The painters have continued the work of painting the statues of the gods and goddesses on the sides and applying a thin primer to the outer parts of the three chariots, such as the wheels, corner pieces, and plate pieces.
