Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff recently made a spiritual pit stop amidst their promotional schedule in Abu Dhabi. The duo, who are gearing up for the release of their action-packed film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, paid a visit to the BAPS Hindu Mandir. Situated in Abu Dhabi, the BAPS Hindu Mandir is the first Hindu temple in the city.
Akshay Kumar took to social media to share a glimpse of their visit, donning a traditional white kurta adorned with black motifs and black trousers. The duo was welcomed by Brahmaviharidas Swami, who greeted them with garlands of flowers against the backdrop of the Wall of Harmony—a striking feature of the temple that showcases iconic monuments from around the world, adorned with the word 'harmony' in diverse languages.
During their tour, Akshay and Tiger had the opportunity to explore the origins of the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati through Brahmaviharidas Swami, underlining the spiritual significance of these revered water bodies. The priest also elucidated the importance of the Divine Eye overlooking the confluence of these rivers.
