Sudha Murty’s ‘peak Indian mom’ moment: Hands cash to Rishi Sunak, Akshata Murty at Bengaluru temple | Trending

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty visited Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in Bengaluru. They were accompanied by Rishi Sunak’s in-laws (Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murty). While offering mutt, Sudha Murty had a “peak Indian mom” moment when she handed cash to Sunak and Akshata Murty to be given as offering at the place of worship.

The endearing gesture, a familiar scene in many Indian households, reflects the image of mothers ensuring offerings are made for the family’s blessings and well-being.

Since the video went viral, people praised Sudha Murty for her gesture and for showing traditional Indian values.

A second user, @ttvkrishna, commented, “Happy family prays together, this is true Hindu culture”.

Rishi Sunak, 44, has often spoken about his respect for Indian traditions and has visited many temples during his past trips to India. In January this year, during his visit to London’s famous BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, also known as Neasden Temple, Sunak talked about his belief in Hinduism.

“I am Hindu, and like all of you, I draw inspiration and comfort from my faith. I was proud to be sworn in as a member of Parliament on the ‘Bhagavad Gita’. Our faith teaches us to do our duty and not fret about the outcome as long as one does it faithfully” he said.

Sunak also mentioned that he wants to pass on the tradition to his two daughters as well.
