Pawan Kalyan, the deputy Chief minister, recently concluded his Prayaschitha Deeksha at the Tirumala temple in the presence of his daughters. During this visit, he offered prayers to Lord Venkateswara Swamy and fulfilled the religious obligations associated with the ritual. The purpose of this visit was to complete his Prayaschitha Deeksha, a penance observed to seek forgiveness and blessings.

Accompanied by his daughters, Pawan Kalyan signed the mandatory declaration of faith, as his daughter Polen Anjana is a minor. This declaration is a requirement for non-Hindus who wish to offer prayers at the iconic temple. The move highlights his respect and reverence towards the temple’s customs and traditions.

The visit garnered significant media attention due to Pawan Kalyan’s presence and his adherence to the temple’s regulations. The family was seen engaging in prayer, followed by the ceremonial signing of the faith declaration, which ensures respect for Lord Venkateswara Swamy. Alongside him, director Trivikram and art director Anand Sai were also present during the darshan and ceremonies.

After completing the darshan of Lord Balaji, Pawan Kalyan was presented with the Srivari Teertha Prasadam and a photo memento at the Ranganayakula Mandapam. The priests and temple officials honored his presence and extended their blessings. This event marked a moment of spiritual devotion and connection, as Pawan Kalyan showcased his faith by observing this penance.

The Deputy Chief Minister is scheduled to inspect the Tarigonda Vengamamba Nithya Annprasadam complex and will stay overnight at the hill town. His visit, which was part of a larger itinerary, included the upcoming Varahi public meeting that is scheduled to be held in Tirupati.

Pawan Kalyan’s visit to the temple and the publicized signing of the faith declaration signify his commitment to respecting the religious customs and reverence for Lord Venkateswara. It also underlines the importance of following temple protocols, which ensure that all visitors, irrespective of their background, honor the traditions and beliefs associated with the temple.
