Clad in a saree, British Prime Minister Theresa May today visited the century-old Sri Someshwara Temple here on the final day of her three-day visit to India.
Taking time off her hectic engagements in the city, May accompanied by two priests went around the temple at Halasuru, donning a gold and green saree.
She also offered prayer to the deity Lord Shiva.

The temple, which is the oldest temple in the city dating back to the Chola period, is located in the suburb of Halasuru.
