Mangaluru, Jul 14: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif and renowned cricketer KL Rahul, along with actor Suniel Shetty's family, participated in a Kola ceremony held at the Kuthar Koragajja shrine on Sunday.

Actress Katrina Kaif, actor Suniel Shetty's son Ahan Shetty, daughter Athiya Shetty, cricketer KL Rahul, Matrix Entertainment's Reshma Shetty, Katrina's husband Vicky Kaushal, and VM Kamath, among others, had pledged their offerings at the shrine two months ago. Today, everyone except Vicky Kaushal participated in the ritual.

Katrina, Reshma Shetty, and Athiya Shetty observed the rituals traditionally from the shrine's office, while Rahul and Ahan actively participated in the ceremony. The Bollywood group arrived in Kuthar around 6 PM and requested the shrine officials not to disclose their visit to the media. They also requested not to take any photographs and to delete any that were taken.

While the ritual was conducted inside the shrine without lights, Katrina and the others stood outside, deeply engaged in prayer with their eyes closed.
