While I appreciate her visit, it sometimes feels like these are just PR visits for celebrities. I hope her spiritual experience was genuine and not just for social media.

Mahakaleshwar is one of the Jyotirlingas. The morning aarti is an experience that stays with you. Glad she could feel that shakti. Our temples and traditions are truly special.
