#ShreeJagannathTemple is also known as #The_White_Pagoda.
In 1636/37 the whole temple was 1st coated with Lime_Paste by Gajapati_Maharaja_Narasimha_Dev of Khurda. He used to regularly apply a thick layer of Lime_Paste to protect the temple from the Salty_Air coming from the Sea.

And during the reign of Gajapati_Maharaja_Harekrishna_Deva (1718), lime paste was Re-applied for the protection against the Salty_Environment. Similarly, it also functioned in the reign of Gajapati_Maharaja_Ramachandra_Dev in 1736 & Gajapati_Maharaja_Dibyasina_Deva-II in 1800.
Around 1844, Maharani_Niladri_Patamahadei tried to shine a Lime_Coat; for which all the Kauris had to be burnt in the Royal_Treasury to obtain the lime to meet the Lime_Requirement. Yes, it was for the 4th time. When Maharani tried to bestow a Lime_Coat on the temple in 1844.
Later, an Application of Lime & even more recently Cement created a Thick_Layer that was taken by the #ASI from the late 70s'. But in the 1990s' some intellectuals were mad to see Motifs on the walls. Since then, all the #Carvings have disappeared & now look like #Empty_Stones.
From my childhood (1993/94 onwards); our temple is mostly seen within the clutches of Iron_Pipes till the #Super_Cyclonic_Storm_Fani (3rd May 2019).
If the reparing of one part is completed then the other part is starting to weaken. But no one can find an exact solution.

And If we're so ahead & much more advanced, can we not make an #Old_Pilgrimage so strong that it can stand even without the iron pipes. If not, I think the people of the 1600s' were more forward in finding a solution to this when the temple was in danger..
