Mumbai, Oct 18 || After the success of “Kantara: Chapter 1”, actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty visited the ancient Mundeshwari Temple in Bihar to express his gratitude.
Pictures from Rishab’s visit to the temple showed the actor-filmmaker performing aarti and posing near the shrine. He also took part in the coronation ritual of Maa Mundeshwari and immersed himself in the temple’s spiritual atmosphere.
A close friend to Rishab told : “It is the oldest temple in the world and Kantara is based on one of the most rooted stories of India. The film also has a connection to Mata Chamundi, which is why he wanted to express his gratitude.”
