'The Burning Ghat' is my heartfelt tribute to the eternal fire of Manikarnika Ghat, where life ends and Moksh begins," read an excerpt from his caption. He continued, 'I believe this sound is the true sound of New India — where tradition meets technology.

NHL star Brad Marchand turns heads at Wimbledon amid Panthers contract uncertainty
Brad Marchand's surprise Wimbledon visit adds fuel to Panthers contract speculation (Image via: Getty Images) The world's oldest tennis tournament is underway, and Wimbledon fever has officially gripped sports fans across the globe. Even World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka commented on the electric energy at the All England Club. But one unexpected face in the crowd turned heads—Stanley Cup winner and NHL star Brad Marchand, enjoying some off-season relaxation far from the rink. Stanley Cup winner Brad Marchand attends Wimbledon amid free agency talks Brad Marchand, fresh off winning the Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers, was seen in London attending Wimbledon with his wife, Katrina Marchand. Katrina shared Instagram stories tagging Marchand and showing tennis star Carlos Alcaraz. Another clip showed Marchand playing table tennis with Grand Slam Tennis Tours' Director of Sales, Jock Cooperrider. While the couple appeared to be enjoying their time, Marchand's appearance came amid ongoing questions about whether the Panthers will re-sign him ahead of 2025 NHL free agency. Panthers secure Sam Bennett and Aaron Ekblad , but Brad Marchand's status remains unclear The Panthers are coming off a dominant Stanley Cup run, but their offseason decisions were crucial. All eyes were on playoff heroes Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, and Brad Marchand—each of whom was set to hit NHL free agency on July 1. Bennett calmed nerves first, announcing during a celebration party at E11even that he was staying. He later signed an 8-year, $64 million extension. Ekblad followed with his own 8-year, $48.8 million contract. Together, these deals consumed a significant portion of Florida's $19 million salary cap space. Brad Marchand Spotted at Wimbledon (Image via: Instagram) The 37-year-old forward hinted at an extension during team celebrations, but with the Bruins reportedly interested in a reunion, the Panthers face a tough decision. Despite winning his second Stanley Cup, Marchand remains one of the most sought-after names in free agency. Also Read: NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs eye shocking Nazem Kadri reunion after trading Mitch Marner to Golden Knights As the Panthers lock in key pieces of their championship core, Brad Marchand's future remains unresolved. With limited cap space and growing interest from other teams, including the Boston Bruins, Florida's front office must act quickly.
