Thursday was "yugaadi", #NewYear day in #Karnataka #India. The arrangement here is for "kani darshana", viewing auspicious things at day's start.
I value all items but the envelope the most for it's a personal blessing from an *ashta matha* Swamiji. 🙇‍♂️

Re: #Udupi #Krishna:
1. The 2-headed eagle in the medallion on Krishna's chest is "gaṇḍabhēruṇḍa", a form of Wishnu in #Hindu myth. It is also the #emblem of the state of #Karnataka. 🦅
2. My wife and I had the fortune of providing the blue clothing in this presentation. 🙇‍♂️
