Katy Perry's recent trip to India helped with the "unresolved pain" of her marriage breakdown, says a source.

The singer has been hitting headlines with her turbulent love life of late. After splitting from estranged husband Russell Brand at the end of last year, the beauty is believed to have recently ended her romance with 22-year-old model Baptiste Giabiconi.

Katy and Russell wed in India following a whirlwind romance. She recently returned to the country to perform and sources say the star used the trip as closure.

"I think Katy knew she had unresolved pain that she needs to let go of, but she felt ready to go back to India," a source told British magazine more!

"She'd have known it would be strange experiencing the same sights, smells and sounds alone, compared to being there when she was with Russell and in love."

Katy is reportedly focusing on her well-being while in the spiritual country.

"Katy's going to go to a few temples and just slow down," the insider continued. "She's been working non-stop since she became single, so taking some time to think should help let all that pain go.

"I heard she's hugely positive and focusing on living in the moment, not ruining the present by over-thinking the past."
