Newly wed hero Jr. NTR and his wife Lakshmi Pranathy visited the temple of Lord Venkateswara on the Tirumala Hills this morning and sought blessings of the Almighty.

Accompanied by his mother Shalini, Tollywood producer SV Prasad and MLA Mr. Kodali Nani,   NTR had a VIP darshan and offered special pujas to the Lord. Later, temple priests blessed the couple with Vedic hymns and gave Prasadams.

Meanwhile, as the news spread that Jr. NTR was in temple, thousands of pilgrims had gathered near the main gate of the temple to take a glimpse at him and his wife resulting in a fierce stampede.

Police had to disperse the crowd to bring the couple out of the temple and escort them to their vehicle. NTR and his wife arrived in Tirupathi Friday after noon by flight after they got married the previous night in a grand gala celebration in Hyderabad.
