Called the Raja of Kadali Yogeshwar (Jogi) Mutt, the Peethadipathi is elected every 12 years and this time, the anointment will be held on March 7.

The event is called Paryaya Raja Pattabhisheka. The Nath sect of Gorakhpur has centuries-old association with Mangaluru after the visit of Yogi Gorakshanath and there are several Nath-sect temples on the coast, including Kudroli Gokarnatha and Kadri Manjunatha.

Various leaders, including Mangaluru South MLA J.R. Lobo, VHP South Karnataka president M.B. Puranik, MLA Ganesh Karnik and Bunts Association president Ajith Kumar Rai Maladi received the Zhundi Yatra at Kottara Chowki.

The Zhundi Yatra thereafter proceeded to Kudroli Gokarnatha Temple where the participants and the new Raja were accorded traditional welcome.

It was then the turn of Venkataramana Temple on Car Street to host the Zhundi Yatra, after which the Raja was felicitated at the Bunts Association.

The Zhundi Yatra entered the Kadali Mutt after visiting the Manjunatha temple amid jubilation among devotees. Rajasthanis were present in large numbers as the new Raja as well as the outgoing head — Yogi Sandhyanathaji — are from Rajasthan.

Daily programmes

A release here said that religious and cultural programmes would be conducted at the mutt every evening till March 7, the day of Pattabhisheka. President of Akhil Bharata Varsheeya Avadhoot Bekh Barah Panth Yogi Mahasabha, Haridwar, Mahanth Adityanath, would address the religious congregation on February 28.

Elaborate arrangements are being made on the mutt premises for the celebrations.

The Zhundi Yatra commenced from Nasik in Maharashtra about six months ago on the day of Nagara Panchami after the selection of Yogi Nirmalnathji as the Raja of Kadali Mutt.

The sadhus traversed the distance by foot, visiting 62 mutts/temples of the Nath-sect en route .

They halted at Nandaneshwara Temple in Panambur on Thursday before proceeding towards Mangaluru on Friday morning.

Mangaluru, Mar 10: Tension prevailed in the city after an international flyer quarantined at the District Wenlock Hospital walked out of the facility.

The passenger, with a recent travel history to high-risk countries, refused to cooperate with health officials. The day-long drama ended when the district administration intervened and the flyer agreed to get himself re-admitted.

Deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said the passenger had fever and was sent to an isolation ward. “The passenger is cooperating with the treatment and samples have been collected for testing,” she said. The samples will be sent to a testing centre in Bengaluru.

Sources told  that rude behaviour by staff at Mangalore International Airport may have angered the passenger and he walked out of the quarantine facility.

She said if passengers show reluctance to be screened, they should first be counselled and allowed to get themselves admitted to a hospital of their choice with quarantine facility. If they still refuse to cooperate, they will have to be hospitalised forcefully, she added.
