Anna Lezhneva Offers Prayers at Tirumala After Son’s Recovery

Anna Lezhneva, wife of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, visited the sacred Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala on Monday to offer her prayers. In a deeply personal gesture of devotion and gratitude, Anna chose to undergo tonsure at the temple. This spiritual offering was made in thanksgiving for what she described as the miraculous recovery of her son, Mark Shankar Pawanovich.
Seven-year-old Mark had sustained injuries during a tragic fire accident at a summer camp in Singapore—an incident that had left the family and their well-wishers in distress. Mark’s remarkable recovery, following the ordeal, has been a source of relief and faith for the family. Anna’s act of tonsure, often seen as a symbolic surrender and offering to the deity, highlights her deep sense of gratitude to Lord Venkateswara.
