After a video of the moment went viral, many praised Sudha Murty for embodying traditional Indian values. One viewer commented, “It’s cute to see mom giving money to the daughter for the aarti.

Rishi Sunak, who has frequently shared his respect for Indian traditions, has visited temples during previous trips to India. In January, he spoke about his faith at London’s BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, expressing pride in his Hindu beliefs and his commitment to passing these values on to his daughters.
This recent visit to Raghavendra Swamy Mutt highlights the family’s respect for cultural traditions, symbolizing the close-knit bonds and values they cherish.
