The unveiling was a part of the 550th-anniversary celebrations of the mutt, one of India's oldest monastic institutions revered for its spiritual, cultural, and social contributions, especially within the Saraswat community.

A dedicated helipad was constructed on the mutt premises to facilitate the Prime Minister’s visit. The unveiling marks a key milestone in an 11-day festival featuring numerous rituals, cultural performances, and community outreach activities, drawing thousands of devotees daily.
