Did Manisha Koirala Start Her Tuesday Morning with Spirituality?
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Jan 13 (NationPress) Actress Manisha Koirala commenced her Tuesday with a spiritual vibe, offering her prayers to Lord Hanuman.
She took to Instagram stories to share a photo of herself sitting on a red mat, legs crossed, dressed in a simple yet cozy outfit, facing a beautifully embellished idol of Lord Hanuman. The idol was adorned with marigold garlands and vermilion, all placed under a traditional canopy.
Following this, she shared a video of herself exercising on a treadmill, captioned with “never give up.”
Earlier, on January 4, she sought divine blessings from the Kumari in Nepal. Expressing her gratitude, Manisha prayed for peace, wisdom, and harmony.
She uploaded a video of her visit to the Kumari, amidst a crowd of devotees, stating, "With folded hands and a quiet heart, I received Kumari’s darshan. In that sacred stillness, I offered my faith, my gratitude, and my surrender. May her grace dwell within us and bless our nation with peace, wisdom, and harmony (sic).”
The Kumari tradition in Nepal involves venerating a prepubescent girl as the Living Goddess, believed to be the physical manifestation of the goddess Taleju, a form of Durga. This practice has its roots in the Malla dynasty (12th to 18th century).
On the professional front, she was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut series “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.” This period drama takes place in the red-light district of Heera Mandi in Lahore during the Indian independence movement.
The series delves into the lives of tawaifs and their entanglements with political and personal struggles under British colonial rule. The cast features Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.
