Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s Spiritual Sojourns: A Glimpse into Their Devotional Journey
From Kainchi Dham to Mahakaleshwar, the couple’s visits to sacred destinations reflect a growing bond with peace, prayer, and inner stillness
In recent years, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have increasingly drawn attention not just for their public achievements, but also for the quiet spiritual path they seem to be embracing. Their visits to sacred temples and ashrams across India offer a rare glimpse into the devotional side of the power couple, revealing a shared pursuit of inner calm and faith.
Kainchi Dham, November 2022
Their journey began with a serene visit to the revered Neem Karoli Baba’s Kainchi Dham Ashram in Uttarakhand. The couple, accompanied by their daughter Vamika, was seen in simple black sweatshirts, seated in peaceful contemplation under a tree. No grand gestures, no media fuss, just a silent moment of connection with the divine. The pictures, shared quietly by fans, spoke volumes of the stillness and grounding they sought.
Swami Dayanand Giri Ashram, Rishikesh – January 2023
In January 2023, Virat and Anushka were spotted at Swami Dayanand Giri Ashram in Rishikesh. Their involvement in prayers and rituals showed not just presence, but deep participation. Dressed modestly and respectfully, the couple appeared at ease in the spiritual environment. The atmosphere was one of humility and peace. The images from their visit circulated widely, resonating with many who value their silent devotion over dramatic displays.
Hanuman Garhi Temple and Ram Mandir, Ayodhya
During the same spiritual retreat, the couple made a visit to Hanuman Garhi and the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Anushka was dressed in a lilac suit while Virat wore a cream-toned ethnic ensemble. Their appearance at these sacred sites was graceful and respectful, marked by an unmistakable sense of quiet reverence. Observers noted the peace in their demeanor, and their visit left a lasting impression on devotees and fans alike.
Premanand Ji Maharaj’s Ashram, Vrindavan
One of the more personal moments on their spiritual path came with their visit to Shri Premanand Ji Maharaj’s Ashram in Vrindavan, soon after Virat stepped away from Test cricket. They were seen with both their children, sitting with humility before Maharaj Ji. Anushka’s heartfelt question, “Kya naam jap se ho jayega?” echoed the couple’s growing curiosity and commitment to bhakti. Their presence there was not performative—it was clearly part of a genuine spiritual inquiry.
Mahakaleshwar Temple, Ujjain – 2023
Their visit to the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain marked one of their most visibly devotional moments. Post the India-Australia Test series, the couple arrived at the temple to attend the early morning Bhasma Aarti. Virat, clad in a traditional dhoti, and Anushka in a peach saree, performed Jalabhishek at the revered jyotirlinga. Their early morning appearance was not meant for cameras, it reflected a yearning for blessings and a moment of surrender in faith.
A Spiritual Thread Running Quietly Through Their Lives
What’s striking about Virat and Anushka’s spiritual journey is its sincerity. Their visits to temples and ashrams are never marked by excessive publicity or spectacle. Instead, they arrive quietly, dressed simply, and participate meaningfully. They listen, sit in silence, ask questions, and show reverence. In a world that often celebrates noise and visibility, their inner journey stands out for its simplicity and authenticity.
Whether it’s the peaceful hills of Kainchi Dham, the divine chants in Rishikesh, or the ancient echo of mantras in Ujjain, Virat and Anushka seem to be returning again and again to something deeper than fame, an inner anchoring in devotion, humility, and gratitude. Their spiritual choices reflect a conscious path that blends faith with stillness, and fame with grace.
