Paryaya

[1] Each swamiji of every matha gets chance to perform puja to Udupi Sri Krishna by rotation for a period of two years.

[2] The paryaya takes place in the early hours of 18 January of even numbered year of Gregorian calendar at Udupi.

The ascending Swamiji of Sarvajna peeta goes to a place called Dandathirtha near Kaup south of Udupi town and takes dip at holy pond and does puja as per Madhwa traditions.

In Baale Muhurta, banana or plantain saplings are planted along with tulasi (Basil) to meet the needs to Krishna puja and for feeding of devotees.

The firewood stored is used for cooking prasada and feeding devotees who come to Krishna Matha during the two years of Paryaya.

Batha (dried paddy) is stored for meeting future requirements within premises of Sri Krishna Matha.

Nowadays these have become symbolic as Krishna matha ( Krishna mutt ) and other Ashta matha's ( Ashta mutt's ) have lost all their land holdings to tenants due to passage of Land reform act 1975 passed by Karnataka state legislature.
