 The first seven Acharya of the peetham were celibates.After which on the request of the founder of Jaipur and the then Ruler of Jaipur State, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh-II, the eighth Acharya Swami Shri Hariyacharya got married as it was being advised that, "unless the guru does not sit with his wife, the Ashwamegha Yagna will be unsuccessful which was going to be performed by the Ruler".Since then, it became a custom and all the later 10 Acharyas uptill today are married.
