Actor Babu Mohan offers prayers at Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirumala
Tirupati, July 7
Veteran Telugu actor Babu Mohan visited the revered Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala on Tuesday, where he offered prayers during the morning darshan.
Following the darshan, temple officials and Vedic priests presented the actor with sacred prasadam and offered traditional Vedaasirvachanam (Vedic blessings) at the Ranganayakula Mandapam, in keeping with the temple's long-standing customs.
Babu Mohan was seen dressed in traditional attire suited for the temple visit.
He wore a light pastel green short-sleeved button-down shirt paired with a vibrant red ceremonial angavastram featuring a broad golden zari border. He also wore a simple gold-toned wristwatch with a white dial on his left wrist and had the traditional Hindu Thirunamam (tilak) marked on his forehead.
A legendary Telugu comedian and character artist, Babu Mohan continues to remain active in the film industry.
He has confirmed that he plans to continue acting until his "last breath."
The actor is currently shooting for multiple upcoming projects. His recent screen appearances include Sodhara (Its Bromantic Story) (2025) and Mr Bachchan (2024).
He has also recently reunited with director SV Krishna Reddy to film sequences and dance numbers for an upcoming project.
The Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh, is among the world's most revered and heavily visited Hindu pilgrimage sites.
Dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, a form of Lord Vishnu, the temple is administered by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). Located atop the seventh peak of the Seshachalam hill range, Venkatadri, at an elevation of 853 metres, the shrine attracts millions of devotees every year.

Such a peaceful picture! The Tirumala temple is truly special — the spiritual energy there is unmatched. Babu Mohan's dedication to his craft till his "last breath" is admirable. But honestly, I wish the article focused more on the temple's rituals than his outfit details. Just saying. 😊
I've been to Tirumala many times — it's amazing how celebrities still find time for such visits amidst their busy schedules. The Vedaasirvachanam is such a beautiful tradition. It reminds us that no matter how famous you become, humility and faith keep you grounded. Jai Venkateswara! 🔱
It's heartwarming to see older actors still staying connected to their roots. But I find it ironic that the article spends more words describing his shirt and watch than his actual prayers or the temple's significance. Maybe a little more focus on spirituality, less on fashion? 😅 Still, happy for him!
Babu Mohan is a gem of Telugu cinema! He made us laugh for decades, and now he's showing his spiritual side. That red angavastram with gold zari looks royal! I sincerely hope his upcoming projects bring back the golden era of Telugu comedy. All the best, sir! 🎬🙏
The Thirunamam on his forehead — that's what makes this photo special. It shows real faith, not just a photo-op. I wish more actors would visit temples without making it a big media event. But good for Babu Mohan sir. Hope his films entertain us as always
