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.
