People gathered in good numbers at the Sringeri Mandiram in Mandaveli to greet the Sringeri Peetam Jagadguru on his visit here on Saturday, Nov.9.
Though the guru’s arrival was delayed, since he had many engagements elsewhere, the acharya got a rousing welcome in the traditional manner, with women leading the way, as cameramen and devotees jostled for vantage spaces.
The acharya spoke to the packed hall of devotees and performed pujas before he headed out.
He has been camping in Mylapore for many days and visiting centres the Peetam has connections with.
