As part of the ritual, 25 truck loads of firewood will be collected and stacked in the shape of chariot on the north-eastern side of Madhwa Sarovara. This ritual is symbolic of readiness for the upcoming paryaya. Talking to reporters in Udupi on Friday, Diwan of Shiroor Mutt, one of the Ashta Mutts of Udupi, Uday Kumar Saralatthaya, said Baale Muhurtha and Akki Muhurtha, the first two stages of Paryaya preparations, were already completed. Stacking of firewood in the form of chariot will be over by December. The stacked wood will be to prepare food for devotees visiting the Krishna Mutt during the two year paryaya of Shiroor Mutt. Mr. Saralatthaya said the ritual of stacking firewood for paryaya, has for ages, commenced during the 'Ashada' month. Collecting wood during this month helps trees to regenerate, he said.

Kattige Muhurta as part of Paryaya on July 13
Mangaluru: The third ritual as part of the Paryaya festival, the 'Kattige Muhurta', will be held on July 13. Udaya Kumar Saralatthaya, the Diwana of Sri Shiroor Mutt, Udupi, told reporters on Friday, that the 'Kattige Muhurta' is the third ritual being held prior to the Paryaya festival in Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt. The 'Akki Muhurta' to offer 'annadana' during the next Paryaya of 2026-2028, was already held. It is a custom in the mutt to offer 'naivedya' to the deity by cooking rice and cereals using only firewood. The preparation for the collection of firewood for this purpose is known as Kattige Muhurta, he said. "Devotees consider naivedya as prasada. It is believed that Srimad Madhvacharya himself offered naivedya to Sri Krishna. Devotees accept this naivedya as prasada and hence the kattige muhurta has its own significance. The ritual will be held during the 'Simha Lagna' at 9.15 am on Sunday. There is a rule to collect wood during the month of Aashada. This is because, during the rainy season, the cut trees can sprout again and grow for up to 16 years. About 25 truckloads of wood from the kari (karmaru) tree are gathered and stacked in an artistic chariot model approximately 50ft high and 25ft wide at the northeastern corner of the Madhva Sarovara," he explained. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensia privată facultativă NN Pensia Facultativă NN Vezi oferta Undo Dignitaries, scholars, diwanas, and devotees offer prayers at the shrines of Chandramoulishwara, Sri Anantheshwara, Sri Krishna, Mukhya Prana, and Garuda prior to the Kattige Muhurta ritual.
