LORD JAGANNATH TEMPLE ,PURI ,ORRISA
Lord Jagannath Temple at Puri was constructed in the first quarter of 12th
century.
The monument is standing on a high platform connected with the ground
level by flight of 22 steps(believed to be a part of its foundation)
Height of the temple is 66 meters.
The temple is constructed in Ashlar Masonry with blocks of Khandolite (a
local sandstone) laid in courses.
For construction, no mortar has been used instead the stones have been
jointed with the help of wrought-iron cramps(u-shaped) or dowels and have
been supported one over another resulting fascinating wall and corbelled roof
in the shape of a “frustum” of a pyramid.
The wall thickness of the main temple is about 5.5 meters, main temple has
three floors ie. Three corbelled roofs inside, with wrought-iron beams, span is
9 meters.
The wall face externally has been plastered with 45cms, thick coat of lime
plaster, applied in nine distinct layers while the inside walls have a thin coat
of plaster up to a height of 3 meters.
Maximum damage to the temple was caused by the rusting of clamps.
Also, the stones expanded due to the seepage, generating pressure and
causing chunks to fall.
The outer faces which was covered with lime-plaster(about 45 cms) had
failed to control saline induced deterioration and leakage besides putting
extra pressure on the fabric of the temple and hiding the beautiful carvings.
It was found that the condition of the inner walls and corbels required
attention.
Similarly , on the southern side of the temple major structural weakness
were detected in the form of multiple cracks, missing architectural pieces etc.
Tubular scaffolding were made for treatment of outer faces.
The treatment should be compatible with the basic stone in respect to
chemical bond as also thermal expansion/ contraction and moisture movement.
The sealant or consolidant should not develop a tight and impervious surface
skin preventing access of moisture this tends to develop trapped moisture
drawn to the surface by temperature gradient, the sealant should discourage
ingress of fluid but encourage transmission of vapour
Treatment should permit trapped salt to escape.
