According to the Indian Meteorological Department, Asani has weakened from a ‘severe cyclonic storm’ into a ‘cyclonic storm’ and was likely to become a depression by the morning of Thursday, 12 May. During the impact of cyclone Asani, a mysterious gold-coloured chariot was washed ashore at Sunnapalli Sea Harbour in the Andhra district of Srikakulam on Tuesday. The people on the shore dragged the chariot to the shore.
Officials To Probe The Chariot’s Source
During cyclone Asani, a chariot appears to have crossed into Andhra Pradesh. A cyclone-induced high tide may have washed the chariot to the coast, locals believe. Many have speculated that it came from a country near the Andaman sea like Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia. The local police have reported to Intelligence and higher-ups that the package may have originated from another country.

Chariot Resembles Shape Of Monastery
Observers say the chariot is shaped like a monastery in Southeast Asian countries. A rope was used by the local fishermen to pull the chariot back to the shore after spotting it in the water. Typical of Myanmar, Malaysia, or Thailand, the gold-coloured chariot structure is believed to have originated in those countries. The chariot found could be connected to a monastery.
