The following day, on December 12, 2019, the Jagadguru graced the Purnahuti ceremony of the ongoing Shatanchandi Yaga that was being performed at the temple on the occasion. The devotees led by elderly scholar and chief organiser of the Yaga, Vidwan Sri Vinayaka Udupa, (who is also a former Principal of Sri Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapathashala) were then blessed by the Jagadgurus.
