Within the Bhadra Vedi beneath the Statue of Equality is an inner sanctum housing the Swarna Ramanuja — a 120-kilogram statue of the Acharya in pure gold. Here daily worship continues exactly as prescribed by the Pancharatra Agama.
Every month, on the Ardra star of Ra:ma:nuja:cha:rya's birth, the golden Acharya receives a grand abhishekam that devotees can attend and sponsor — a living connection to a teacher born a thousand years ago.
