As the temple town of Udupi gears up for the historic celebration of Udupi Paryayotsava – 2016, the air is filled with excitement. People pour in large numbers to witness the grand celebration. 

Horekanike is a major event which is a part of every Paryaya Mahotsava. Devotees donate food grains, pulses, coconuts, vegetables, plantains, and many more for the incoming Paryaya Mutt a few days ahead of the Prayaya.
