BHUBANESWAR/PURI:Today, on the 59th day of the chariot construction, the chariot builders arrived at the chariot yard at 8:00 AM and began the construction work under the guidance of the Chief Maharana.
*Chariot construction progress*
(As of yesterday, the work of bringing the second floor and the middle floor forward and backward on both sides, along with the work of the dark wall, and the work of the large, wide, and straight wall of the large, large pot connected to the third floor, was completed…)
*The scissors fell to the third floor*
*And the dark night*
Today, under the guidance of the Chief Maharana, with the cooperation of Maharana Sevak and Bhoi Sevak, the scythe and dark tag walls have been completed on both sides of the third floor of the Triratha. In addition, eight small khambis have been set to strengthen the number one potala and hold it.
** In addition, Maharana Sevaks have completed the construction of two 20-foot dustpans for three chariots. These dustpans will be set in two niches at the back of the chariot for the Prabha fitting.
** In addition, the installation of the Paras Patta has begun from the front of the three chariots. The planks will be installed on all four sides of the altar, leaving the four corners. After the door frame of the three chariots is raised, the work of installing planks in these empty corners will be completed.
*Three-car mine shaft construction completed*
The construction of the three-tiered, 12-story quarry has been completed.
(This stone-making tool is set at the six corners of the three-wheeled cart, and a thin wooden button or stick is placed on its four sides. When the stone falls on the cart, the round safety of the cart comes into play and the cart remains safe and does not tear.)
*Rupture wheel*
The sculptors have completed carving the shapes on 12 of the 24 legs of the three chariots and have provided them to the painters for painting. After carving the shapes on 6 of the remaining 12 legs, the work of decorating and carving the Kandarpa shapes on the remaining six legs is in progress.
*Blacksmith’s axe*
After supplying three chariots of potal thorn, the Ojha Kamar Sevaks at the temporary blacksmith shop in Dolavedi have continued to make three chariots of potal thorn, thorn for the door frame, and L-clamp and U-clamp.
*Painter walks*
The painters have applied white primer to the three-legged chariot for painting, and have continued painting the side deities, the swan plate, the girl’s plate, the top of the drum, the kalas, the reverse of the chariot, and the outer parts of the chariot.
*Pahi Maharana*
At Dolavedi, the Maharana brothers have completed the construction of wooden and bamboo equipment for the Thakurs for the Unsar, and are also constructing wooden equipment for the Seva Puja during the Rath Yatra, and are also constructing wooden benches for the Koth Swainsiyas for the work of putting the kana on the chariot.
