Raghavendra Mutt seer initiates construction of golden chariot in Udupi
Sri Subhudendra Tirtha Swamiji of Mantralaya Raghavendra Mutt initiated construction of Parthasarathy golden chariot of Paryaya Puthige Mutt for the deity Sri Krishna in Udupi on Sunday (June 29, 2025). To symbolise the event, Sri Subhudendra Tirtha presented Sri Sugunendra Tirtha Swamiji, the Paryaya Puthige mutt seer, a gold necklace for the deity in the morning. A formal launch ceremony was held at the Rajangana in the Sri Krishna Mutt premises around noon, where the Raghavendra Mutt seer was felicitated. Speaking on the occasion, Sri Sugunendra Tirtha said Parthasarathy chariot was a memorial to the Koti Bhagawad Gita Parayana Yajna taken up in his present Gita Paryaya. 'It is appropriate that seer of Raghavendra Mutt, which is known for its prosperity, initiated the construction of the golden chariot. We hope construction of the new chariot will be completed quickly,' Puthige Mutt seer said. Sri Subhudendra Tirtha said it was in the Krishna Mutt that Sri Raghavendra Swamiji wrote his important 'Parimala', the revered theological work, 400 years ago. 'The place I am sitting (in the Mutt) is one where Raghavendra Swamiji had the realisation that the lord inside him was the same as the one he is seeing in front of his eyes'. The Raghavendra Swami Mutt will support all actions of Puthige Mutt in spreading the tenets of Bhagawad Gita and of Madhawacharya philosophy, the seer said. The new chariot is being constructed to have chariot ceremonies throughout the year in Krishna Mutt premises, the seer said. Sri Subhudendra Tirtha was ceremonially welcomed by Sri Sugunendra Tirtha into the Krishna Mutt. The two seers and Sri Susreendra Tirtha Swamiji, the junior seer of Puthige Mutt, spent some time at the Madhvasarovara, which is adjoining the Krishna Mutt.
