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