Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, prayed and visited the shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath in the beautiful state of Uttarakhand on Sunday, October 20, 2024. He wore a beige-toned Nehru jacket with a white kurta-pajama for the event. Ajendra Ajay, President of the Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC), greeted Mukesh Ambani with great warmth when he arrived in Badrinath. This visit underscores his commitment to honouring tradition and spirituality.
Mukesh Ambani, who visits the sacred sites every year, donated Rs. 5 crore to the Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) following prayers at the Kedarnath temple in Rudraprayag district and the Badrinath temple in Chamoli district. His annual visits underscore his commitment to honouring religious traditions and supporting spiritual institutions.
