The Nila Chakra on Puri Temple is made of alloy of eight metals (Asta-dhatu) and is 3.5 Metres (11 feet and 8 inches) high with a circumference of about 11 metres (36 feet). The Nila Chakra is distinct from the Sudarshana chakra which has been placed with the deities in the inner sanctorum. Nila Chakra is the most revered iconic symbol in the Puri cult. The Nila Chakra is the only physical object whose markings are used as sacrament and considered sacred in Puri worship. It symbolizes protection by Shri Puri.

The metal wheel at the top of Lord Jagannath Temple is known as Neela Chakra (Blue Wheel). The wheel is made of eight metals (Asta Dhatus) comprising of iron, copper, zinc, mercury, lead, brass, silver and gold. The Neel Chakra has eight Navagunjaras carved on the outer circumference, with all facing towards the flag post above. The thickness of the Neela Chakra is 2 inches.
There is a specific sevayats to serve the Neela Chakra and they are known as Garuda Sevaka or Chunara Nejoga. At Sunset, the Garuda Sevakas climb to the top of 214 feet high temple to fasten flags, offered by the devotees, on the bamboo mast attached to the Neela Chakra. The pole attached to the Neela Chakra is 38 feet long. After covering the breadth of the Neela Chakra, this pole extends 25 feet high above it.
The pilgrims consider offering flags for the Jagannath temple is an act of holiness.The flags are either deep red or yellow in colour, but a crescent moon and a sun in white colour cloth deck the centre of a flag. The length of the flag varies from 1 foot to 25 feet and may be more. A devotee has to pay to the temple committee a certain price to tie the flag and the price is determined by the length of a flag.
The sevayat wears silk cloth and the upper part of his body remains bare. He ties the flags, offered by the devotees, around his waist which he has to tie on the mast that day. He also carries a wooden stick in his hand and sets out to climb the temple. The stick in hand is meant to be used against the monkeys who may attack. He climbs so swiftly that within minutes he is seen at the crest of the dancing hall of the main temple. From here he has to climb about a hundred feet steep wall to reach the Neela Chakra. He climbs this wall in a very peculiar manner, his back to the wall and his two outstretched legs on two raised parts of the wall. After climbing the body of the temple he reaches the head of the temple. This part is orange-shaped and it is impossible to climb this without any help. There is a device made of iron rings and a rope attached permanently on the head of the temple and He reaches the Neela chakra with the help of this. The entire breath taking exercise of reaching the Neela Chakra from the temple floor takes around 20 minutes. After climbing the Neela Chakra, he removes the old flags from the pole and ties the new ones.
The Neel Chakra protects the high rise temple from thunder strokes and lighting.The eight metal alloy has the capacity to absorb the ferocity of thunder bolts and thus the gigantic stone-moment remains unharmed. There is a four-inch wide metal-plate which serves as an earthing, it connects the wheel and a well in the southern side of the temple, close to the Goddess Vimala temple. This metal plate is about 300 feet long.
The Neel Chakra is the most revered iconic symbol in the Jagannath cult. It is the only physical object whose markings are used as sacrament and considered sacred in Jagannath worship. It symbolizes protection by Shri Jagannath.
