Mahakumbh 2025: Mukesh Ambani and Family’s Holy Dip in Prayagraj – A Historic Moment

At the MahaKumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, marked a momentous occasion with his family, including his mother Kokilaben, his sons Anant and Akash, and other family members, by taking a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam. 

The MahaKumbh Mela is one of the world’s largest and most spiritual events, deeply respected by millions of devotees. Held every 12 years, it brings together pilgrims from all over India and beyond, who come to bathe in the holy waters of the Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers meet. The 2025 MahaKumbh in Prayagraj has already seen many important people paying their respects at this sacred place. A memorable moment was when Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, and his family took part in this historic event.

The Ambani Family's Spiritual Pilgrimage

On February 11, 2025, Mukesh Ambani and his family, spanning four generations, joined millions of pilgrims for a sacred ritual. They gathered where the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers meet. Their presence showed how important it is to pass down religious traditions through generations.

Those present included:

• Kokilaben Ambani: Mukesh Ambani's mother.

• Akash and Anant Ambani: Mukesh Ambani's sons.

• Shloka Mehta and Radhika Merchant: Mukesh’s daughters-in-law.

• Prithvi and Veda: Mukesh Ambani's grandchildren.

• Dipti Salgaocar and Nina Kothari: Mukesh Ambani's sisters.

• Poonamben Dalal and Mamthaben Dalal: Ambani’s mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

The family's visit included a Ganga Puja led by Swami Kailashanand Giri ji Maharaj of the Niranjani Akhara, followed by a meeting with Swami Chiddanand Saraswati Maharaj of Parmarth Niketan Ashram. At the Ashram, the Ambani family distributed sweets and life jackets to pilgrims.

Traditional Attire and Significance

The Ambani family members were dressed in traditional ethnic clothes for the occasion. Mukesh and Anant Ambani wore matching blue kurta pyjamas, while Akash Ambani wore a multicoloured kurta. Shloka Mehta was seen in a white Anarkali suit, and the grandchildren, Prithvi and Veda, wore coordinating teal outfits.

The family took the holy dip at the Sangam as devotees gathered ahead of Magh Purnima, which marks the conclusion of Kalpvas, a period of self-discipline, introspection, and spiritual purification.

The MahaKumbh Mela has drawn a huge number of devotees. Uttar Pradesh officials reported that the target of 450 million visitors was met before the event ended. Local authorities made special arrangements, including changing traffic plans, to handle the large crowds for Magh Purnima.
