This day of Phalguna Sukla Bidigi is celebrated as Sri Guru Saarvabhoumara Pattabhisheka Dina . Starting from this day special celebrations will be held at Mantralayam the seat of Sri Raghavendra Swamy Moola Brundavana, for a period of seven days up to Phalguna Sukla Sapthami the day Sri Rayaru was born.
