The Krishnapura Mutt will offer a ‘Navarathna Vajra Kavacha’ to Lord Mukhyaprana (Hanuman) of Krishna Mutt. It has been made at a cost of Rs 3 crore. The Kavacha will be offered to the Lord on January 11, in the presence of the pontiffs of the Ashta mutts.
Krishnapura Mutt pontiff Vidyasagaratheertha Swamiji on Wednesday, addressing a news conference, said that 6.7 kgs of gold has been used to make the Kavacha and Panipeeth along with 5,287 diamonds (404.91 carat) and 2,664 gems such as ruby, blue sapphire, emerald, yellow sapphire and others.
This Kavacha has been designed and made by Giriraj Charan from Hyderabad, the same person who had earlier done the Kavacha of Lord Krishna.
A ‘shobha yatre’ of the Kavacha will be held on January 10 before it is offered to the Lord.
