Anant Ambani undertakes sacred pilgrimage on foot from Jamnagar to Dwarka ahead of his birthday

Reliance Industries Director Anant Ambani has embarked on a sacred padayatra, or pilgrimage, by foot from his residence in Jamnagar to the Dwarkadhish temple in the revered city of Lord Krishna, Dwarka. The five-day journey, undertaken as an act of devotion, will conclude with a visit to the temple ahead of his upcoming 30th birthday on April 9, walking an average of 12 to 15 km a day.
Along the way, he has been engaging in continuous chants and prayers, making stops at temples to offer his respects. His commitment to the pilgrimage has drawn the attention of devotees, who have welcomed him with traditional recitations and blessings at various stops.
Anant Ambani’s padyatra is a significant act of devotion and discipline. Despite managing chronic health conditions such as asthma and fibrosis from a young age, he is undertaking the 140-km journey entirely on foot. The physically demanding trek could test the fittest individuals, yet for Anant, it is a personal expression of faith rather than a display of endurance. For many young Indians navigating life’s challenges, his pilgrimage serves as a reminder that resilience can be quiet, and faith remains a powerful force.
The Ambani family is widely renowned for their regular trips to the Dwarkadhish Temple, which demonstrates their strong faith. These trips highlight Anant Ambani’s commitment to spiritual activities and the value of seeking divine blessings at significant life events.

In a heartfelt gesture during the journey, Anant Ambani intervened to rescue a truckload of chickens that were being transported. He halted the vehicle, purchased the birds and was heard instructing his team to arrange for their care, showcasing his compassion for all living beings.
His padyatra is expected to conclude in the coming days, culminating in prayers at the Dwarkadhish temple. The pilgrimage has been widely regarded as a significant expression of faith and devotion, resonating with many followers along the way.
