The holy Pitru Kshetra

Moreover, it is the only place where sanyasins are granted the privilege of offering pindas to themselves by mere raising danda. It is the only place where Sri Mahavishnu is flowing in liquid form for utilization to Tarpana during sraddhas and pindas performed by the devout Hindus. Moreover, it is the selfsame place where Vamana measured with His foot the cosmos at the time of receiving dana from Bali, according to a certain version. Above all, it is in this divya thirtha kshetra, where Sri Mahavishnu is worshipped in His three forms - Vyakta, Avyakta and Vyaktavyakta i.e., in his manifest, non-manifest ,and manifest, non-manifest forms, as exemplified by his being adored to his Adi Gadadhara image, standing for Vyakta form Vishnu pada standing for avyakta form and to the holy water of Phalguna representing His vyakta form. To cap it all, it is the unique pitru kshetra enshrining several adorable virtues that have not fallen to the lot of similar ones.
