On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, actress Ananya Panday visited the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Maharashtra, one of the twelve revered Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. The actress shared glimpses of her visit with her fans on Instagram, describing it as her "first Jyotirlinga" experience.

Panday captioned her Instagram post with the words, "Har Har Mahadev... my first Jyotirlinga, the beginning of the best journey". Her message reflected gratitude and excitement, marking what she considers the start of a new chapter in her personal journey. Fans quickly reacted to the post, expressing their love and excitement.

Trimbakeshwar Temple, located approximately 28 kilometers from Nashik near the Brahmagiri hills, holds immense significance in Hindu belief. It is near the origin point of the Godavari River. Unlike other Jyotirlingas, Trimbakeshwar is unique because its linga carries three faces, symbolizing Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. This rare form makes the shrine a powerful spiritual site, drawing devotees from across India. The temple stands at nearly 3,000 feet above sea level and is deeply connected to the Varkari tradition and Nath Sampradaya. Pilgrims visit throughout the year for worship, sacred rituals, and yatras.

In related news, Panday had recently shared updates about her health, appearing in an arm sling in a previous Instagram post. She was seen wearing a cozy oversized grey hoodie with matching bottoms in the post, standing casually in a vanity area. With her sling indicating a possible arm or shoulder injury, she humorously captioned the post, "2026 mein nazar lag gayi".

On the professional front, Ananya Panday is preparing for the second season of her series 'Call Me Bae'. The first season, released in 2024, follows Bella Chowdhary, also known as Bae (played by Ananya Panday), as she transitions from heiress to hustler. The series features Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra, and Mini Mathur in pivotal roles. It is produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra as Executive Producers.

Panday's upcoming film project, "Chand Mera Dil," is backed by producer Karan Johar. The romantic drama, directed by Vivek Soni and co-produced by Adar Poonawalla, will feature her opposite Lakshya.

Panday's visit to Trimbakeshwar reflects a growing trend where public figures blend personal spirituality with public expression. Her expression of faith stood out in contrast to her busy professional life, offering her followers a glimpse of authenticity.
