Later, on the same day, Junior NTR and Rishab Shetty visited the Sri Keshavanatheshwara Cave Temple in Moodugallu, Keradi. The temple, known for its unique natural beauty, is located within a cave and offers a distinct spiritual experience. The actors, who traveled from Kollur to Keradi, were particularly impressed by the temple’s natural surroundings and the serene environment.

The Sri Keshavanatheshwara Cave Temple is a marvel of nature, with the cave itself serving as Lord Shiva’s sanctum. Inside the temple, there is a spacious area of around 20-30 feet filled with water, inhabited by various types of fish. The experience of standing in the water, offering prayers, and being surrounded by the fish is said to provide a unique and mystical feeling. The temple is illuminated solely by the divine light of the deity’s lamp, adding to the sanctified atmosphere.
