Chariot built in city to be pulled during Rath Yatra in Ireland
1 2 3 Bhubaneswar: A specially crafted chariot built in Bhubaneswar will be pulled during the Rath Yatra in Dublin and Cork this year, after being assembled in Ireland. Components of the chariot, which is 12-ft high and 8-ft wide, and decor, weighing 1,322 kg, completed a 9,000-km journey over 4 months, from Bhubaneswar to Delhi, then to a Gujarat port to Rotterdam, and finally to Dublin by road. The chariot was assembled at Vedic Hindu Cultural Centre Ireland (VHCCI), Dublin, where it remains stored following a successful road test. The chariot has been built by Basudev Maharana, a carpenter from Old Town area along with his two associates. "Getting a skilled carpenter capable of constructing a portable and cost-effective rath proved difficult and required months of searching. Eventually we selected Basudev Maharana, who completed the work in July last year," said Amit Misra, a member of Odia Samaj. Odisha craftspersons created custom-made cloth, horses and wheel components. Maharana used sal wood for its water-resistant properties and longevity. "On Akshaya Tritiya, we worshipped the wood as per our tradition and started work," said Maharana. The logistics presented significant challenges, particularly transporting the consignment of chariot parts, covers and décor to Dublin. The total expenditure, including construction, transport, customs and handling, amounted to Rs 10 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Что о вас может рассказать поза во время сна?
