“Getting the specific number of specific types of timbers for chariot construction has recently emerged as a big problem. Its solution is ‘Jagannath Bana Prakalpa’. The government had launched the project with an intention to avoid shortage of timbers for chariot construction for good,” said the king. 

A decision in this regard was taken at the first coordination committee meeting held at Puri, ahead of famous rath yatra. 

As per the age-old tradition, 865 logs of Phasi, Asana and Dhaura are required for the construction of the three chariots. During the initial stage of construction work, the Maharana servitors require Phasi logs with 6 to 7 feet girth for ‘Tumba’ and of 7 to 8 feet for ‘Pahi’.
