British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's parents Yashvir and Usha Sunak, and mother-in-law Sudha Murty visited the Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt temple in Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday.

The family offered prayers at the temple and were gifted shawls by the priests. The official page of the Mutt shared photos of the trio from during their visit. "Today, the parents of Britain's Prime Minister Sri Rishi Sunak, Sir Yashvir Sunak and Usha Sunak visited to Sri Kshetram Mantralayam. They were accompanied by Smt. Sudha Narayana Murty of Infosys, and together they had darshan of Sri Rayaru," the post read.

This comes days after Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty visited the Akshardham temple in New Delhi where they performed puja and interacted with the priests. Photos clicked during their visit showed the couple offering prayers and flowers, doing aarti, and exploring the 100-acre complex while being guided by the priests.

This was the British Prime Minister's first official visit to India for the G20 Summit. During his stay in the country, Sunak said that he is a "proud Hindu" and will always be connected to the people of India.

He added that his visit to New Delhi for the G20 Leaders' Summit is "obviously special" as he joked about being referred to as the "son-in-law of India" as the first British Prime Minister of Indian heritage and married to an Indian.

Speaking to reporters in a huddle on his flight to New Delhi, the 43-year-old British Indian leader said he was excited to be back in India, "a country that is very near and dear to me".
