128

The Pancharathra tradition has a list of 128 upacharas and include a separate set when the deity travels. This includes

  1. paduka, 
  2. chariot, 
  3. horse and 
  4. elephant. 
Complex rules govern which deity receives how many and what and also who gives it to them. The upacharas in the Pancharathra tradition and in Kerala are done mostly with gestures of the hands, like in dance mudhras.
