In an unexpected turn of events, the revered ‘Brahma Taladhwaja’ chariot has remained stalled for the third consecutive day in Tulasi Kshetra, failing to reach its destination during the return journey of the annual Rath Yatra.
Despite relentless efforts by the Maharana servitors using chain pulleys, the chariot faced persistent alignment issues while manoeuvring turns, leaving it stranded once again. The delay has stirred concerns among devotees and questioned the logistical preparations for this culturally significant event.
The same chariot had taken four full days during the Rath Yatra, highlighting a recurring challenge in executing smooth Rath Yatra operations. With the Rath constantly veering off course, servitors and support teams are now attempting to realign the wheels using a rail jack—a method that had been tried in earlier years to moderate success.
This disruption has not only impacted the religious schedule but also intensified the spiritual anxiety among devotees, many of whom are praying for divine intervention and a smooth conclusion to the festivities.
As officials scramble to resolve the impasse, the incident underlines the need for stricter planning and infrastructural readiness for future yatra arrangements in Tulasi Kshetra. Until then, the fate of the divine chariot remains uncertain, paused mid-journey amid fervent chants and prayers.
