Today is the day of Phalimar mutt paryaya in udupi . Paryaya is the day on which the charge of worshipping the idol of Sri Krishna is handed over to the next mutt in the circle of 8 mutts.
Today Pejawar mutt has handed over the charge to Phalimar mutt. This change of charge takes place once in 2 years.
We celebrate the event as a festival. A huge procession takes place from the entry place of udupi i.e. Jodukatte till udupi Krishna mutt.
The procession started at 3.30 am . I watched the procession on tv as our cable operator telecast it live. The starting point of procession was so much packed with devotees that there was no place for a mosquito also !
Whole udupi town was lit up with lights. Everyone was awake to watch the procession . Many cultural programs were arranged . In udupi daily there are cultural programs like singing and dancing as God Sri Krishna himself loves doing all these.
There were tablos of Hindu mythology , Ravana with his 10 faces , Sri Krishna and Garuda . My favourite Tattiraya without them no procession will start.
Bhajan groups singing God's various reincarnation for the benefit of human society , chande melas , various veshas of rakshasas , those were killed by God Sri Krishna to save the world etc just to name a few.
By watching all these , I imagined myself at that time where God himself was there to sort out our mistakes and bless us.
