Udupi: ‘Vittla Pindi’ or ‘Mosaru Kudike’ held on the second and final day of Sri Krishna Janmashtami was held on Monday in Temple Town of Udupi with great fervour. The highlight of Vittal Pindi is the colourful procession of the Utsava Murti of the Udupi Sri Krishna Temple.

Vittal is derived from the word “Vittala” which is Lord Krishna childhood name. “Pindi” is derived from the word “Banda” which means that earthen pot containing milk, curds and butter.

The clay idol of Sri Krishna was taken in a huge procession around car street on the beautiful chariot prepared for the purpose and prior to the procession at 3 pm Mahamangalarthi was held to the clay idol in the golden chariot by Admar Math Swamiji. Meanwhile, the idols of Lord Ananteshwara and Lord Chandramouleshwara were placed in the ‘Navaratna Ratha’ ahead of the golden chariot.

During the huge procession, the main event of breaking the pots specially hung around the temple grabbed a lot of attention. Youth formed human pyramids and broke the hanging pots filled with coloured water. It was a lavish spectacle as the dance troupes and other folk troupes performed. Meanwhile, Swamijis gave away eatables like laddoos, chakkulis and fruits to the huge crowd as ‘Prasadam’ at Car Street.

The huge procession culminated at the entrance of the Sri Krishna Math. Then, the clay idol of Lord Krishna was removed from golden chariot and taken in a golden palanquin and immersed in the Madhwa Sarovara.
