Many devotees collect the iron thorn from the chariot of Goddess Subhadra as it is believed that if it is stuck on a fruitless tree, it will bear fruit. Strict security arrangements have been made in the vicinity of the chariot in case of vandalism, said reliable reports on Friday.
The chariot will be completely dismantled and all the timber will be entrusted to the management of the temple. This wood will be used in the preparation of the Kothabhoga of the Lord in the kitchen of the Jagannath temple.
