Vishnu Manchu’s much-anticipated mythical epic Kannappa, helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, is slated to release in theatres this Friday. While the promotions are in full swing, the actor-producer decided to take a spiritual tour. Vishnu Manchu shared that he completed a journey to visit all 12 holy Jyotirlingas across the country, and the last one was his darshan at the Sri Sailam Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple.
Vishnu Manchu shared a series of pictures from his visit at the renowned temple. The actor was seen dressed in a complete traditional look which included a golden kurta pyjama and a religious orange stole around his neck. In the caption, he wrote, “Twelve Jyotirlingas. One journey. 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.”
