January 21, 2026 (Maagha Shukla Triteeya of the Vishwaavasu Samvatsara) marked the Eleventh Anniversary of the Sannyasa Sweekara Day of Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam.

Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam had embraced Sannyasa from His Guru, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, in a historic ceremony held in January 2015.

On January 21, 2026, at 9.30 a.m., Sri Sannidhanam offered Darshan at the Adhishthanams of His Paramaguru, Parameshti Guru, and Paraapara Guru. Thereafter, Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam proceeded to the northern banks of the river Tunga and had Darshan at all the temples within the Math’s premises.

Sri Sannidhanam then arrived at Ishwaragiri, the temple of Lord Malahanikareshwara, situated on the nearby hillock. At the temple, Sri Sannidhanam first performed Puja to Sri Ganapati, followed by worship of Lord Malahanikareshwara. Sri Sannidhanam then performed Rudra Abhisheka to Lord Malahanikareshwara.

The Pujas commenced at 10.30 a.m. and concluded at around 1.30 p.m. with Sri Sannidhanam performing Puja to Goddess Bhavani.
