Amidst the high-voltage election campaigning, Tollywood superstar and TMC MP Dev presented a serene, spiritual image of himself on the occasion of Ram Navami. On Friday, Dev visited a prominent Ram temple in his constituency, Ghatal, to offer prayers. Dressed in a white ethnic outfit with a bright saffron scarf around his neck and a vermilion tilak on his forehead, the actor-politician perfectly embodied the festive spirit. Upon exiting the temple, Dev was heard chanting ‘Jai Jai Shri Ram.’

Stepping away from the political heat for a while, Dev participated in the temple rituals like a common devotee. He performed the ‘Aarti’ and interacted with the locals who had gathered at the temple. Speaking to the media, Dev said, “Lord Ram is universal. Festivals should unite us, not divide us. I am here as a devotee to pray for the well-being and prosperity of the people of Ghatal and Bengal.”

Dev’s ‘saffron’ look and his chanting have sparked widespread discussion in political circles. At a time when Ram Navami often becomes a point of contention between political rivals in Bengal, Dev’s inclusive approach has been hailed as a positive gesture. He emphasized that while faith is personal, celebrations should be collective.

Crowds swelled at the temple as news of the superstar’s visit spread. Photos and videos of Dev in his spiritual avatar have gone viral on social media, with fans praising his humility and respect for traditions. The Ghatal MP’s message of “peace over politics” resonated strongly as he wished everyone a Happy Ram Navami.
