The Swamijis of the eight Mathas conduct the worship at Shri Krishna Matha by turns, for two years each. This tenure of worship by rotation is known as “Paryaya”. The Swamiji in charge of worship at any point of time is called ‘paryaya Swamiji’ and his Matha called the ‘Paryaya Matha’.The biennial transfer of the privilege of worship from one Matha to another is celebrated as a grand festival called ‘Paryaya Festival’. The handover of charge begins with a grand procession where all the swamijis are brought in decorated palanquins (Pallaki). The outgoing Swamiji receives the Swamijis and then handsover to the incoming Swamiji, the keys to the Shri Krishna Matha and the Akshaya patra (a vessel given by Shri Madhwacharya to the temple for the sake of never-ending Annadana.)
