aSrirangam Jeer Mutt at Tirumala has completed construction with an estimate of Rs. 3Cr, informed the 50th pontiff of the mutt, Sri Ranga Narayana Jeer, at Srirangam, on Wednesday, in a press meets. The jeer mutt at Tirumala would be a branch of the Srirangam Jeer Mutt.

He further informed that the mutt had been constructed on an area of 5,000 square feet got from the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam on a long lease on the Gogarbam dam site.

Twenty idols of Lord Perumal, Sri Thaayar, Sri Venkatachalapathy, Sri Ramanujar, Sri Nammazhwar, Sri Manavala Mamunigal and other Acharyas were made at Swamimalai and have been brought to Srirangam. The sacred idols would be taken to Tirumala for consecration at the Jeer mutt.

Sri Jeer, who was currently observing chathurmasya sankalpa', said this was his 23rd Chathurmasya at Srirangam after heading the Jeer Mutt when he was 60 years old. He considered it a divine opportunity to perform the sankalpa' at Srirangam Jeer mutt where Sri Ramanujar had lived and performed similar rituals.

He said the Sankalpam which commenced on July 15 would conclude on September 12 when special Veda Parayanam would be performed.
