Mumbai, Aug 3
Prominent actors of the popular television series, 'Mahabharat', Sourabh Raaj Jain, Arpit Ranka, and Pooja Sharma offered prayers at the Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga during the auspicious month of 'Sawan'.
In the joint post shared by the actors on social media, they were seen posing with folded hands in front of the Jyotirlinga.
Expressing his delight on getting the blessings of Lord Shiva, Saurabh Raaj Jain wrote on his official Instagram handle, "Sawan ka pehla somvaar, Aur mahadev ki kripa sey kal sreesailam, mallikaarjun key darshan prapt huye, sath hi shaktipeeth maa bhramharamba ji ka ashirwaad mila.(sic)"
"Ek baat jo bhot achi lagi vo thi vahaan ki vyavastha, jis tarah sey vo poora kshetra na keval saaf suthra rakha gaya hay balki adbhut rangoliyon sey sajaya gaya vo adbhut hai...."Mere krishn" key sath ek aur jyotirlinga aur shaktipeeth jaana sambhav huya issey hum apna sobhagye mantey hai...Har har mahadev...Jai maa bhramharamba," the post further read.

Beautiful to see them staying connected to our culture and traditions. Sawan somvaar darshan is very special. However, I wish our TV serials focused more on such meaningful content now rather than the melodramatic family sagas. The Mahabharat run during lockdown was a blessing! 😊
The bond this cast shares is genuinely special. Pooja Sharma as Draupadi and Arpit Ranka as Duryodhana were outstanding. And now they're visiting jyotirlingas together in Sawan. It feels like the show never truly ended. Jai Bhole Nath! 🕉️
As someone from a Christian background, I still really enjoyed the Mahabharat's storytelling. It's great to see these actors embracing their spirituality and visiting such historic places. The respect for our nation's diverse traditions is really beautiful to witness.
Sreesailam is such a powerful place! The Mallikarjuna temple is one of the most special shrines in the country. These actors did a fantastic job and it's lovely to know they're taking time for spiritual growth too. The carvings and rangolis there are indeed amazing!
It's great PR for the upcoming re-runs or possible reunion specials, but let's be honest - the actor's genuine devotion mixed with a dash of publicity. Either way, any message that brings people closer to our sacred sites and traditions is a good one. Har Har Mahadev! 🙏
