She danced to the Telugu folk song 'O Pilaga Venkati' in the recent video. She was seen wearing an elegant saree with an embellished blouse.

She uploaded the clip on Instagram earlier this September and soon it went viral. The dance reel has already received more than ten million views on the social media site.

Internet reacts

People didn't approve her dance video. They found it objectionable to dance to a romantic song in front of the much-revered Murugan statue. "Don't dance in front of the god this type of songs," netizens commented. Others expressed love and admiration towards her performance by writing, "Love from India."

Some users asked others to imagine the song and the woman's performance as an offering to Lord Venkatesha instead of the mere song character. "Popular in venkatesh name," said one, while another wrote, "Govinda Govinda."
