Mr Chouhan, who is also the BJP's national vice-president, visited the Gufa Mandir in Bhopal to offer his prayers. He performed rituals at the temple for the recital of the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra - a verse from the Rig Veda believed to bestow longevity - during his prayers. A group of 108 priests will now recite the mantra over three days.
Visuals showed Mr Chauhan and a group of BJP leaders reciting hymns with priests. A flex of Prime Minister Modi, his hands joined in a namaste, could be seen in the background.
