Chairman of Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani visited Somnath Mahadev temple in Gujarat on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri and offered prayers along with his son Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio. They were welcomed by PK Lahiri, Chairman of the temple trust and Secretary Yogendrabhai Desai.
Ambani later donated Rs 1.51 crore to the Somnath temple trust. Both father and son were seen praying before the deity and offering ‘Abhishek’ with folded hands and later, a priest offered sandal paste and a stole to them.
It may be recalled that last year in September, Mukesh Ambani visited Lord Venkateswara temple in Andhra Pradesh’s Tirumala and donated Rs 1.5 crore to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. The Ambanis are said to be deep rooted in traditions and they celebrate all Hindu festivals.
