Accompanied by her rumoured beau, Shikhar Pahariya, Janhvi embraced the spiritual solace of the temple, adhering to her cherished annual ritual. Dressed in a simple yet elegant yellow saree, Janhvi's attire paid homage to traditional grace. The saree, adorned with a turquoise blouse featuring golden prints and a yellow border, was complemented by golden jewelry—earrings, a necklace, and a waist bracelet.
In a gesture of sharing her emotional experience, Janhvi took to Instagram, posting snapshots from her temple visit along with nostalgic throwback photos of herself with Sridevi. One particularly poignant image captured Sridevi lovingly wrapping her arms around Janhvi, a touching reminder of their bond. Accompanying the photo, Janhvi wrote, "Happy birthday Mumma. I love you."

— NTR Wallpapers (@NTRWallpapers) August 13, 2024The Tirupati temple, known as Kaliyuga Vaikuntha, is dedicated to Venkateswara, an incarnation of Vishnu revered for his role in alleviating the challenges of the Kal Yuga. The temple's significance as a sanctuary in the current age of darkness makes it a profound place for Janhvi's tribute.
Sridevi, born Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan in 1963, remains a legendary figure in Indian cinema. Her remarkable performances in films like 'Chandni,' 'Lamhe,' 'Mr. India,' 'Chaalbaaz,' 'Nagina,' 'Sadma,' and 'English Vinglish' have left an indelible mark on the industry. The Padma Shri awardee also excelled in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada cinema. Her final film, 'Mom,' earned her the Best Actress National Award posthumously.
Sridevi's untimely passing on February 24, 2018, in Dubai, where she was attending a family event, was a great loss to the world of cinema. Janhvi’s pilgrimage and heartfelt tribute serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of her mother’s extraordinary life and career.
