Rameswaram: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s younger brother Prahlad Damodardas Modi visited Ramanathaswamy Temple in Tamil Nadu's Rameshwaram on Friday on the occasion of ‘Thai amavasya’ and offered prayers.

“He reached Rameswaram on Thursday night and after taking a holy dip in the sea at Dhanushkodi, he performed ‘tharpanam’ to pay respects to his ancestors,” said a BJP district unit functionary.

"I have sought help from the Lord to give these opposing elements some good sense so that they stop spreading false rumours about CAA and help maintain peace in the country," said Prahlad.

Prahlad Modi also visited Adi Jagannatha Perumal Temple in Thirupullani and Thiru Uthirakosamangai temple, after which he left for Madurai by road. On Friday evening, he offered prayers at Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple in Madurai.
