“Blessed to seek the divine blessings of Bhagwan Shri Padmanabhaswamy at Thiruvananthapuram,” Singh wrote in the post, adding that he prayed for the health, happiness and well-being of everyone.

The post, shared with hashtags including #PadmanabhaswamyTemple and #SangramSingh, received reactions from his followers.

From wrestling champion to MMA title winner

Sangram, a former Commonwealth Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, has made an impressive transition into professional MMA. His biggest recent achievement came in July 2026, when he defeated Pakistan’s Mohammed Abid Ali by knockout in just 1 minute and 20 seconds in Kuala Lumpur to win the STRIKE Asia Championship. The victory also extended his unbeaten professional MMA record.

The win followed earlier international MMA victories over Pakistan’s Ali Raza Nasir, Tunisia’s Hakim Trabelsi and France’s Florian Coudier, making his move into MMA an increasingly notable chapter of his sporting career. Sangram Singh has also spoken about the importance of responsible choices and urged celebrities to avoid promoting products that may be harmful to public health.

Sangram also exploring cinema

The wrestler is also expanding his presence beyond combat sports. In May 2026, Sangram revealed that he would be associated with a film based on the life of K.D. Jadhav, India’s first individual Olympic medallist. He also spoke about the possibility of a future biopic on his own life, saying actors including Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal and Kartik Aaryan could potentially portray him.

For now, however, Sangram’s latest temple visit offered a quieter glimpse of the athlete away from the spotlight. After a busy period that saw him capture an international MMA title, his message from the Padmanabhaswamy Temple focused on faith, gratitude and prayers for everyone’s well-being.
