Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson Visit Temple in India Ahead of Coldplay’s Concerts in the Country
The Coldplay frontman and his longtime love visited Mumbai's Babulnath Temple before the band played its first-ever stadium show in India
As Chris Martin prepared to take the stage in India, he and fiancée Dakota Johnson explored the country together.
The Coldplay frontman, 47, and the actress, 35, were seen participating in a religious ceremony at Babulnath Temple, an ancient Hindu house of prayer in Mumbai, ahead of the “Viva La Vida” rocker’s slew of shows in the country, according to footage shared on Instagram.
In one clip, Martin can be seen standing beside Johnson and speaking with other people at the temple, before noticing that the person behind the camera is recording — at which point he smiles directly at them.
In another video, Johnson can be seen participating in the Hindu tradition of whispering her wish into a Nandi bull statue alongside another woman.

One fan shared their experience meeting the “Yellow” crooner at the Mumbai temple, writing on Instagram that meeting Martin “and shaking hands and sharing a laughter smile with him was unreal.”
The fan added that they “will never forget this in my entire life it was pure [magic] ✨.”
Elsewhere during the couple’s time in Mumbai, Johnson was spotted at another religious space, the Siddhivinayak Temple, with Indian actress Sonali Bendre on Saturday, Jan. 18.
Martin, meanwhile, had a Coldplay concert at DY Patil Stadium that same day. The show marked the first of three at the Mumbai sports arena, with subsequent shows on Jan. 19 and Jan. 21.
The dates, which are part of the band’s ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour, mark the rockers’ first-ever stadium show in the country, according to Coldplay's Instagram page.
