|April 07, 2025
IN a ceremony steeped in devotion and tradition, the first three logs of wood to be used for the construction of the iconic chariots for the world-famous Puri Ratha Yatra (Car Festival) were sliced at the Government Saw Mill in Khapuria, Cuttack, on the auspicious occasion of Sri Ram Navami on Sunday.

As per established customs, three Dhaura wood logs were cut after receiving the sacred “Agyanmala” from the Lord Jagannath Temple in Puri. These logs will be used to construct the three chariots: Nandighosh for Lord Jagannath, Taladhwaja for Lord Balabhadra, and Darpadalan for Goddess Subhadra for the upcoming Ratha Yatra.
