Vishnu Manchu completes 12 Jyotriling pilgrimage


Actor-producer Vishnu Manchu has taken a profoundly spiritual turn during the ongoing promotional efforts for his grand mythological epic Kannappa, which is scheduled to open in theatres this Friday.

Vishnu recently reached a significant personal milestone by making a sacred pilgrimage to all 12 of India's revered Jyotirlinga temples, embarking on a journey of faith and devotion.

Vishnu shared a number of pictures from his trip to the Sri Sailam Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple, his last destination on the pilgrimage, on social media to share his experience.

The actor exuded spiritual serenity while wearing a traditional golden kurta-pyjama and an orange religious stole around his neck. He wrote, "Twelve Jyotirlingas," as a heartfelt caption, reflecting on the journey. One trip. Eternal peace. Just completed the sacred darshan at Sri Sailam Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple — one of the twelve revered Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. With this visit, my journey to all twelve Jyotirlinga temples comes to a divine close. My heart is full. My soul feels blessed. Life right now is filled with nothing but positivity, gratitude, and peace.”


The actor also noted how this spiritual path has emotionally aligned him with the themes of Kannappa. Concluding his post, he added, “As I stand at the edge of this spiritual milestone, I now look forward to the next chapter #kannappa, releasing worldwide on June 27. A film close to my heart. A story that reflects the very spirit I carry today.”
