Nayantara,
who
embraced
the
Hinduism
by
getting
converted
from
the
Christianity,
performed
Thulabaram
at
Chettikulangara
Sree
Bhagavathi
temple,
Alappuzha

Kerala.
She
offered
jaggery
to
the
presiding
deity
earlier
today.
Sources
say
that
Nayantara
reached
Sree
Bhagavathi
temple
with
her
friend
named
Latha
at
10
AM
and
took
part
in
Chandattam,
a
main
offering
for
the
deity,
which
is
a
special
religious
practice
of
the
season.
Later,
she
performed
Thulabaram,
the
ritual
conducted
by
devotees
by
weighing
against
their
offerings
and
gifting
the
same
to
the
temple.
Nayantara
reportedly
offered
50
kilos

jaggery
to

gave
donation
for
Erezhukara's

'Annadanam'
for

at

at
the
same
temple
in
