After 5 years, the gold on the dome will be cleaned: a team of 5 artisans from Thailand reached Bodh Gaya, the work of bringing the gold shine started

These craftsmen will bring out the brilliance of the gold dome on the top of the Mahabodhi temple.

A team of five artisans from Thailand has reached Bodh Gaya. These craftsmen will bring out the brilliance of the gold dome on the top of the Mahabodhi temple. Will clean the gold dome and then apply polish on it. The iron railing work has been started to reach the summit of the temple. It is being claimed that soon the luster of the gold dome will return and it will spread its shade. For the last five years, the gold dome installed on the top of the temple has not been cleaned.

There are two main reasons for the lack of cleanliness. The first dome is cleaned every three years. But when the time for cleaning came, the whole world was in the grip of Kovid-19. Because of this, due to the presence of coron for two consecutive years, cleanliness could not be done. Due to this, dust has settled on the gold dome and flag. His glow was starting to fade a bit. In 2020, a team of 20 artisans came from Thailand to clean the gold, but due to the corona epidemic being on the pickup, the gold dome on the summit could not be cleaned.

Earlier in the year 2017, the dome and the ensign were cleaned. Now after the restrictions of Corona are over, a team of artisans has arrived from Thailand for cleaning. In 2013, pilgrims from Thailand wrapped the dome with a 290 kg gold plate. This added to the brilliance of the temple. It is cleaned every three years. Gold was cleaned in 2017. After that it was to be in 2020. But Kovid-19 had become a wall in this work. This time the gold will be cleaned after five years. According to the information received from the BTMC office, a team of artisans from Thailand has reached Bodh Gaya. Now the preparation for the cleaning work has started. First of all, safe arrangements will be made to reach the summit of the temple. After that the artisans will start their work.
