Puttaparthi/IBNS/UNI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers and performed puja at Veerbhadra Temple in Andhra Pradesh's Lepakshi on Tuesday.

PM Modi heard verses from the Ranganatha Ramayan in Telugu and witnessed the tale of Jatayu visually presented through the traditional shadow puppetry art form from Andhra Pradesh known as Tholu Bommalata.

In a post, the PM said: “For all those who are devotees of Prabhu Shri Ram, Lepakshi holds great significance. Today, I had the honour of praying at the Veerbhadra Temple. I prayed that the people of India be happy, healthy and scale new heights of prosperity.”

“At the Veerbhadra Temple, Lepakshi, heard the Ranganatha Ramayana and also saw a puppet show on the Ramayan,” he said.
