Ankit Raizada: I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to visit and seek blessings at two jyotirlingas

Actor Ankit Raizada, last seen in the titular role of Aman Singh Rajput in Advocate Anjali Awasthi, recently undertook a meaningful personal journey, visiting two of India's prominent Jyotirlingas — the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi and the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain — during the auspicious month of Shravan.“India is home to several beautiful and tranquil Shiva shrines,” says Ankit. “I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to visit and seek blessings at the Kashi Vishwanath and Mahakaleshwar temples. These are among the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.”This year, the experience held deeper meaning for him. “Being at these sacred places in the month of Mahadev truly felt like a blessing — as if Bholenath himself called me there,” he shares.

His visit to Kashi was with fellow actor and friend Anshul Bammi, while the Ujjain trip became a family moment. “The Mahakaleshwar temple is well-known for its Bhasma Aarti, which takes place early in the morning. It’s an experience that stays with you — the underground sanctum, the energy of the place.

.. it’s unforgettable.”He adds, “For me, Sawan is not just a month — it’s a reminder of where our strength comes from, the power of a mother’s prayer, and the grace that guides us.”Ankit has earlier been seen in shows like Dadi Amma… Dadi Amma Maan Jaao!, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Rabb Se Hai Dua, Jodha Akbar and Meri Doli Mere Angana.
