The Story in Brief
Vijay Deverakonda, his brother Anand Deverakonda and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga visited the Sri Simhavahini Mahankali Temple in Hyderabad's Old City on the final day of Bonalu celebrations. Vijay told the crowd it was his first visit to the temple and that he sought the goddess's blessings. Actress Faria Abdullah also joined festivities at the Miralam Mandi temple, dancing to dappu beats in a traditional half saree. Other Telugu stars including Vaishnavi Chaitanya and Manchu Manoj were spotted at various temples. The Bonalu season, which began in mid-July, concluded with processions and rituals.
The Indian Opinion
Sceptics often dismiss celebrity temple visits as publicity stunts timed with film releases. Vijay Deverakonda's first-time Bonalu darshan, however, carried a personal note. The real gauge of sincerity will be whether he and Sandeep Reddy Vanga return next year when no new movies are on the horizon.
