![]() ![]() While Paryaya Sode Mutt thought it best not to respond to the new controversy and perhaps fight back at the right time, Shiroor Mutt pontiff justified the parallel event by describing that Lord Krishna appeared in his dream and instructed him to organise the ‘Utsava’ (parallel). The event is seen as an act of revenge by Shiroor pontiff Laxmivara Theertha Swamiji on being ignored for ‘Arghya Pradhana’ held on the eve of Srikrishnastami celebrations. Laxmivara Theertha swamiji of Shiroor Mutt virtually stole the thunder by organising a parallel Vitla pindi celebrations just 15 minutes ahead of official Vitla Pindi celebrations organised by Paryaya Sode Mutt pontiff Vishwa Vallabha Theertha Swamiji.ĭevotees ended up witnessing an unusual spectacle of back-to-back festivities including breaking of hanging pots and distribution of ‘chakkulis’ as ‘prasadam’. For the first time in history of Srikrishna Temple, two separate ‘Mruthika Mutrthi’ (clay idols) of lord Krishna were worshipped and carried around the Car Street near Krishna Temple in separate (raths) chariots. As per tradition, on the Vitla Pindi Paryaya Mutt, which is at the helm of affairs of Sri Krishna Temple for the past two years, shall conduct rathothsava and hold activities marking the childhood of lord Krishna and distribute prasadam to the devotees. It has been a tradition in Udupi to hold Vitla Pindi celebrations, on the next day of Srikrishnastami. ![]()
