Tirupati, May 8

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday visited the Lord Venkateswara Swamy Temple at Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh to offer prayers and participate in part in the Abhishekam ceremony.

Accompanied by temple officials, the governor was seen draped in a vibrant traditional shawl, marking his presence at the revered pilgrimage site.

The Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, situated atop the seventh peak of the Seshachalam Hills, is among India's most revered Hindu shrines. Dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji, the centuries-old temple draws millions of devotees from across the country and abroad every year.

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Telugu actor and producer Bandla Ganesh visited the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple to offer prayers and seek blessings at one of India's most significant pilgrimage sites. Ganesh, accompanied by his wife, had darshan under the administration of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). The visit comes at a notable juncture in Ganesh's professional journey. The actor-producer recently ended a decade-long hiatus from film production. In December 2025, he marked his return to filmmaking by launching a new production banner titled Bandla Ganesh Blockbusters (BG Blockbusters).

Earlier on Friday, actor Trisha Krishnan visited the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, offering prayers early in the morning. Dressed in traditional attire, she greeted paparazzi and posed for fans outside the temple.

Recent weeks have also seen several celebrity visits to the shrine. Earlier, actors Vivek Oberoi and Shamita Shetty were seen at the temple.

Actress Tamannaah Bhatia had also visited recently in a traditional attire. Femina Miss India 2020 Manasa Varanasi had also offered prayers at the shrine. Earlier, former Indian cricketer Mithali Raj and current Indian badminton player Srikanth Kidambi visited the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati district.

On April 3, actor Shriya Saran visited the temple in Andhra Pradesh on Friday, offering prayers to Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy in a traditional and spiritual appearance.

Good tradition, but I wish the government focused more on development issues rather than just photo-ops at temples. Still, Tirumala is truly special - the energy there is unmatched! ✨

Every time I see Tirumala in the news, it brings back memories of my childhood visits. The Abhishekam is such a divine experience. Glad Manoj Sinha ji took time for this amidst his busy schedule. Jai Balaji! 🕉️

Politicians and celebrities flocking to Tirumala for publicity? Honestly, it's becoming a bit overdone. But if it brings positive attention to the temple's traditions, I suppose it's okay. Let's hope they also focus on the real issues in J-K.

So heartwarming to see so many people from different walks of life - LG, actors, cricketers - all seeking blessings at Tirumala. This is the real India, united in faith! Special mention to Trisha and Tamannaah looking so graceful in traditional wear. 🌸

The shawl the LG is wearing looks really nice - typical South Indian style. Good to see leaders respecting local traditions. But I wonder, with all this temple tourism, how many of these visits actually help the local economy?
