The mortal remains of Mahant Narendra Giri were placed in a samadhi in the premises of the Baghambari Math on Wednesday, with hundreds of saints and sages chanting mantras in the presence.
The tomb was placed under a lemon tree, as desired by the deceased saint.
Mahant Narendra Giri, who allegedly ended his life by committing suicide on Monday evening, was placed in the samadhi in a lying position and not in a sitting position, as is the custom.
