SJTA raises prices of dismantled chariot wheels, components
1 2 3 Bhubaneswar: Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Saturday released a new standard operating procedure (SOP) for sale of dismantled components of the three chariots after Rath Yatra in Puri. The SJTA also revised the prices of the chariot wheels. As per the new SOP, a wheel of Lord Jagannath's Nandighosh chariot is now priced at Rs 3 lakh each, which was Rs 1 lakh earlier. Similarly, the wheel of Lord Balabhadra's Taladhwaja chariot is priced at Rs 2 lakh, and the wheel of Devi Subhadra's Darpadalana chariot is fixed at Rs 1.5 lakh, official sources said. Prices of the wheels of Taladhwaja and Darpadalana chariots were earlier Rs 60,000 and Rs 50,000, respectively. Purchasing a complete set of wheels from all three chariots will cost around Rs 6 lakh. Earlier, one had to pay Rs 2 lakh to buy one wheel from each chariot. Among other components, the Guja and Ansuri parts are priced at Rs 15,000 each, and the Prabha is priced at Rs 25,000 each. From selling last year's chariot components, including wheels, the SJTA received Rs 55 lakh. "We received an overwhelming response for selling the chariot components for the Rath Yatra last year and expect a similar response this year too," said Debabrata Sahoo, deputy administrator of SJTA. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Increasing the price is fine but a three-fold rise seems too much. People buy the components for their love and devotion to the deities, so they should be given at an affordable price," said Ratnakar Subuddhi, a devotee. Official sources said interested buyers must apply to the temple administration by Sept 15, along with an application fee of Rs 1,000. After they are selected to buy the chariot parts, they must deposit the amount within a week after receiving information from SJTA about the allotment. If an applicant fails to deposit the amount within a week, the next eligible applicant will be considered.
