Saint Fest

In Madhwa traditions of Vaishnavism, Raghavendra Swamy was one of the most revered saints. Like all saints, although he relinquished his mortal remains and attained SamaadhI, Mantralaya, the place where he attained Samaadhi as well as all those places where the soil from Mantralaya are placed, are revered as divine places not only in India but all over the world. Devotees worship Shree Hari residing in the saint's heart. The  saint  was Prahlaadaa (the  greatest devotee of Lord  Narasimha, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu) and Hanumaan Ji (the greatest devotee of Lord Shree Seetha Raam).
