Kangana Ranaut visits Maa Pitambara Temple before 'Emergency' release, seeks blessings ahead of film's premiere

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut recently paid a visit to the Maa Pitambara temple in Datia, Madhya Pradesh, just days before the release of her much-awaited film ‘Emergency’. Accompanied by MLA Umesh Kumar, Kangana's temple visit was a serene affair, where she took time to seek blessings and reflect on the divine significance of the place.

On Saturday, Kangana shared her temple visit moments on her Instagram Stories. In one image, she was seen barefoot outside the temple, with the caption, “Aaj Dattiya mein devi ke darshan kiye,” which translates to “Today, I sought blessings from the Goddess in Datia.” Another picture showed the actress inside the temple, smiling gently with a book in hand, surrounded by police personnel.

For the occasion, Kangana chose to wear a yellow saree, wrapped in a shawl, and adorned with a garland, exuding a traditional and spiritual aura. She also re-shared Umesh Kumar’s Instagram post, where he captioned their photo, “Today visited Maa Pitambara located in Datia, Madhya Pradesh with @kanganaranaut. May Goddess’ blessings be on you all.”


During her time at the temple, Kangana performed a puja and reflected on the spiritual and historical importance of the sacred site. She took to Instagram to share her thoughts, writing, “Yeh ek aisa divya sthan hai jahan Mahabharat ke yug mein Ahwatthama dwara ek alaukik shiv ling sthapit kiya gaya tha, jiske humne bhi darshan kiye. Om Namah Shivay,” which translates to “This is a sacred place where Ahwatthama from the Mahabharata era established a divine Shiv Ling, which we also had the privilege to see.”

Kangana’s spiritual journey in Datia comes at a significant time, as her film Emergency is set to release on January 17, 2025.
