A grand garland comprising of 108 gold coins was offered to Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji on this occasion by the Ubhaya Jagadgurus during the Aradhana Mahotsava.

The garland is a special offering to the Acharya on account of the year long celebrations of the 50th year of Sanyasa Sweekara of the present Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam.

This Suvarna-Mala (Garland of Gold) was presented to the Jagadguru after he completed the Chandramoulishwara Puja at night, earlier on October 1, 2024 by Sri PA Murali, CEO & Administrator of the Sringeri Math on behalf of the thousands of devotees who had sent their contributions for the same from far and wide.

Sri Mahasannidhanam also offered worship at His Guru’s Adhishthanam after the daily Chandramoulishwara Puja. The night Puja at the Adhishthanam included Rudra Krama Archana followed by Ashtaavadhaana Seva and the chanting of Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Navaratnamalika.
