All about their wedding venue: Linga Bhairavi Temple
While their wedding news continues to make headlines, the venue itself is nothing short of a serene escape with deep spiritual significance. The duo, who were rumoured to be dating for a long time, exchanged vows at Linga Bhairavi Temple, a Hindu temple consecrated by Sadhguru at the Isha Yoga Center near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
According to Isha Foundation's official website, the pilgrimage is devoted to Goddess Linga Bhairavi, revered as the embodiment of the ultimate feminine. The deity is known for offering protection and enhancing the well-being of her devotees.

Symbolising the essence of the feminine, the walls of Devi's temple are shaped as an inverted triangle, reflecting the womb of creation. Inside, a smaller upright triangle signifies the masculine energy, still unborn within the cosmic womb, as reported by the site.
It is believed that, each month on the full moon, Devi is ceremoniously brought out to connect with the Dhyanalinga, which is considered her source of sustenance. This grand procession concludes with the Maha Arati performed in front of the Dhyanalinga.
