Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, accompanied by his son Anant Ambani and other family members, arrived in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, on Tuesday afternoon to participate in the ongoing Maha Kumbh festival.
The Ambani family, accompanied by their family members, will arrive at the Arail Ghat after their arrival in the holy city.
Arail Ghat is a serene ghat in Prayagraj, situated near the Triveni Sangam, the spot where the Ganges and Yamuna rivers merge with the mythical Saraswati River.
This spiritual location offers views of the Naini Bridge and several temples in the surrounding area.
Earlier in the day, Gautam Adani's brother Vinod Adani and his wife Ranjanben Vinod Adani also arrived at Ayodhya Airport.
Devotees continue to flock to Ayodhya's Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir on Tuesday. The large number of pilgrims visiting Ayodhya is largely due to the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, as many pilgrims who take a holy dip at Sangam proceed to Ayodhya.
The mega event is taking place after a 144-year hiatus, and individuals from all over India and the globe have arrived to bathe in the sacred confluence of Triveni Sangam.
Tourists returning from Prayagraj are also staying in Ayodhya and taking refuge in Green Basera, accommodations set up in the city under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The state of Uttar Pradesh has reached its target of 450 million devotees visiting Prayagraj for the religious gathering.
According to records, 15 days before the conclusion of the Maha Kumbh, the total number of sadhus, devotees, Kalpavasis, bathers, and householders had already surpassed 450 million on Tuesday morning.
By 8 am on Tuesday, approximately 5 million devotees had taken the sacred bath at Triveni Sangam, bringing the total number of people bathing at Maha Kumbh to over 450 million.
It is predicted that the number of people taking a bath will exceed 500 million, with two significant bathing festivals still to come.
Prominent figures such as President Draupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, along with their cabinet members, have participated in the ritual of taking a dip at the confluence.
The 2025 Maha Kumbh, which began on January 13, 2025, during the Paush Purnima, is the world's largest spiritual and cultural event, drawing devotees from around the globe. The grand festival will continue until Mahashivratri on February 26.
