The family members were welcomed at the Mutt in the 5th Layout by the priests, who chanted the Sannidhi ‘Veda Ghosha’ mantra to honor their visit.
In related news, earlier this week, the UK Conservative Party made history by electing Kemi Badenoch as its new leader, marking the first time a Black woman has taken the helm of a major political party in the country. Badenoch succeeds former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, whose leadership was marked by significant challenges, including the party’s worst electoral defeat since 1832.
In the recent General Elections, the Conservatives lost over 200 seats, reducing their presence in the House of Commons to just 121, while Keir Starmer’s Labour Party emerged victorious.
