📜 Divine History & Legend
Initiated by Sri Madhvacharya in the 13th century and later reformed by Sri Vadiraja Teertha in the 16th century, the Paryaya festival marks the formal transfer of worship rights and administration. The incoming Swamiji is handed the Akshaya Patra and keys to the shrine, symbolizing the sacred trust to run the temple and feed thousands of devotees daily.
