Hands akimbo upon the sacred brick, they gaze eternally upon their devotees. Established by P.P. Shreemad Narayana Teerth Shreepad Vader Swamiji and personally worshipped through the unbroken lineage of Peethadhipatis for centuries, they remain the beloved witnesses to every mantra chanted, every lamp lit, and every seva rendered in this holy space.
