PM Dahal was seen wearing saffron coloured shawl while he performed rituals inside the Sanctum Sanctorum of the temple as priests chanted shlokas.
Prachanda reportedly offered 100 ‘rudraksh’ and Rs 51,000 at the temple during the visit.
The Nepalese PM arrived at the temple by road from Indore, where he arrived earlier in the day, amid tight security arrangements put in place along the nearly 55 km-long route.
After visiting the temple, Prachanda will return to Indore, where he is scheduled to meet the governor, and visit a solid waste management plant operated by the local civic body. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will host a dinner in his honour in Indore tonight.
