Anna visited the temple on Sunday. A press release from Janasena Party said she offered her hair at Padmavati Kalyana Katta. She also took part in rituals after signing a faith declaration at Gayatri Sadan. Though Anna is a Russian Orthodox Christian, she expressed faith in Lord Venkateswara. Visuals from her visit have gone viral online.
