Telugu producer Bandla Ganesh offers prayers at Tirumala Venkateswara Temple
Tirupati, May 29
Telugu actor and producer Bandla Ganesh visited the revered Tirumala Venkateswara Temple on Friday and offered prayers at one of India's most prominent pilgrimage sites.
Ganesh had darshan of Lord Venkateswara under the administration of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
He was seen dressed in a white outfit with a red stole that looked simple, traditional, and appropriate for a temple visit.
In December 2025, Ganesh announced his return to filmmaking and launched a new production banner titled 'Bandla Ganesh Blockbusters' (BG Blockbusters).
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.
Recent weeks have also seen several celebrity visits to the shrine. Recently, Indian men's cricket team fielding coach T Dilip visited the Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple at Tirumala in Tirupati district. Actress and former Andhra Pradesh Minister Roja Selvamani also visited offered prayers at the temple.

Tirumala is such a powerful spiritual place. Every time I visit, I feel the energy. Happy that celebrities like Bandla Ganesh, T Dilip, and Roja garu are also seeking blessings from Lord Venkateswara before their new ventures. The temple management (TTD) does a great job handling such huge crowds. 👏
Bandla Ganesh's white outfit with red stole is indeed a traditional and respectful choice for Tirumala. These celebrity visits remind us that no matter how successful you become, faith keeps you grounded. Hope his new banner brings some fresh storytelling to Tollywood. 🙏
While celebrity visits get media attention, the real devotion lies in the millions of common people who stand in long queues for hours just to have a glimpse of Lord Balaji. Bandla Ganesh should also highlight the infrastructure issues at Tirumala - better management would help all devotees. Jai Balaji! 🙏
Tirumala never fails to inspire. Regardless of one's profession - be it film, sports, or politics - everyone feels the same peace when they enter that temple. Hope Bandla Ganesh's new banner brings meaningful cinema to Telugu audiences. The Tirumala blessings will surely guide his journey. 🙏✨
