Kanchi seer Jayendra Saraswathi on Monday visited the Sankara mutt for the first time since his arrest in October last year in connection with a murder case.

The seer spent nearly an hour at the mutt during which he performed pooja and meditated in front of the 'Adishtanam' (samadhi) of the Mahaswami Chandrasekhara Saraswathi, mutt sources said.

He later left for Kalavai.

Since a chargesheet has been filed in the Sankararaman murder case, the bail conditions prohibiting his entry into the mutt no longer apply, police said.
