Kanchi Trust joins hands with Ahobila Mutt
Kancheepuram (TN), July 19: The Kanchi Kamakoti Trust has joined
hands with the Ahobila Mutt in Andhra Pradesh for making a golden
chariot for the latter at a cost of Rs 70 lakh.
The chariot would be used for the presiding deity of the Ahobila
Mutt, Lord Narasimha, Kanchi Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi told
newspersons here today.
He said the Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt, a Vaishnavite mutt having a large
number of followers throughout the country, had visited the Kanchi
Mutt recently and appreciated the golden chariot in the mutt here.
The Jeeyar also had darshan of the 'saligramam', said to have been
received by Adi Sankara from Lord Narasimha at Ahobilam, kept in the
Kanchi Mutt.
The Acharya said because of the connections Adi Sankara had with
Ahobilam, the Kanchi Kamakoti Trust had decided to jointly make the
golden chariot, adding that it would be made from contributions from
devotees. (Agencies)
