Udupi All Set To Celebrate The Paryaya Mahotsava on January 18 in a Simple Manner
Udupi is all set to celebrate the paryaya mahotsava in a simple manner on January 18 amidst the shadow of the pandemic. Vidyasagar Tirtha, the seer of Krishnapura Mutt, will ascend the ‘Sarvajna Peetha’ for the fourth time. Ishapriya Tirtha, junior seer of Admar Mutt, will descend the Paryaya Peetha at the 800-year-old Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple on Tuesday. As the preparations for the paryaya mahotsava began about two months ago, final preparations were witnessed in Sri Krishna Mutt and at Krishnapura Mutt on Sunday. The religious events begin with the paryaya seer taking a holy dip at Dandatheertha in Kaup at 2.15 a.m. on Tuesday. Later he will offer a puja to Kalyeeamardana Krishna at Jodukatte. Later, the seer visits various temples, including Sri Krishna Mutt. The mahotsava consists of a series of religious events culminating in the ceremonial transfer of the ‘Akshaya Pathra’ at 5.45 a.m. Vidyasagar Tirtha will ascend the Sarvajana Peetha at 5.55 a.m. on Tuesday.
