Coldplay arrived in Mumbai to kickstart the India leg of their ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour’. Ahead of the concerts, the British band’s frontman Chris Martin and his partner Dakota Johnson visited the iconic Shri Babulnath Temple in Mumbai on Friday. They were seen praying and interacting with priests in the temple together.
Chris Martin And Dakota Johnson Visit Shri Babulnath Temple, Mumbai
Dressed in desi kurta pyjama and suit, Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson sought blessings from Lord Shiva at Mumbai’s famous Shri Babulnath Temple. Many visuals making rounds on the internet showed the couple praying with folded hands and talking to the priests at the temple.
One video also showed Dakota whispering her wishes into Nandi’s statue at the temple with Chris looking on from behind. According to Hindu tradition, people whisper their prayers or wishes into Nandi’s ears as it is believed that this way your wishes will be directly conveyed to Lord Shiva. Essentially, Nandi acts as a bridge between humans and the divine.
On Friday, the couple were seen exploring Mumbai as well. Several videos and pictures of the duo emerged online where they were seen walking around the town hand in hand.

They are scheduled to play at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 18. After this, they have two more concerts at the same venue on January 19 and 21. The band will then head to Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium for concerts on January 25 and 26.
After landing in Mumbai, the band headed to Marine Drive. Coldplay’s official Instagram account posted a picture of Chris posing at Marine Drive with the caption, “We are so happy and grateful to be here in India 🩷🩷”
