The couple participated in a special puja at the Mutt, offered prayers and were seen feeding the temple cows with bananas along with Murthy. According to Srinath S, who handles operations at the temple, the visit was casual. The family also took part in the temple’s rathothsava (chariot-pulling ceremony) and concluded their visit with a traditional temple lunch before departing.

He added that they had earlier visited the renowned Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in Mantralaya. A video of their visit to the temple is making rounds on social media.
