Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani and his family visited the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Tuesday, February 11. The family took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers, marking an important spiritual moment for the business magnate and his loved ones.
Mukesh Ambani was accompanied by his mother, Kokilaben Ambani, his sons Akash and Anant Ambani, daughters-in-law Shloka Mehta and Radhika Merchant, and his grandchildren Prithvi and Veda. The Ambanis, dressed in traditional attire, added to the festive and devotional atmosphere of the grand event. Mukesh and Anant Ambani wore matching blue kurta-pajamas, while Akash Ambani sported a multicolored kurta. Shloka Mehta looked elegant in a white Anarkali suit, and the young Prithvi and Veda were seen in matching teal outfits.
The holy dip at Triveni Sangam was taken ahead of Magh Purnima, a significant occasion marking the conclusion of the month-long Magha Snan, during which devotees perform ritualistic bathing in the sacred river.
