On Tuesday, 21 January 2025, Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani attended the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela. It is the world's largest religious gathering, in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj.
Mr. Adani also visited the camp of the ISKCON temple at the fair and helped prepare Mahaprasad (sacred meals). The Adani Group, and ISKCON, (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) have come together to serve meals to devotees at the Maha Kumbh Mela. It began on January 13.
The Mahaprasad will be offered for the entire duration, which is scheduled to end on February 26.
This month, the Adani Group also collaborated with Gita Press for free distribution of one crore copies of "Aarti Sangraha" among the devotees at Maha Kumbh.
He said on X, Mr. Adani said that Maha Kumbh is the "great yagya of Indian culture and religious faith".
He said, "It is a matter of immense pleasure for us that in this Mahayagya, in collaboration with the prestigious institution Gita Press, we are offering one crore copies of 'Aarti Sangrah' free of cost to the devotees coming to Kumbh."
"Today, I got inspiration from the respected officials of Gita Press who have been serving the nation for 100 years through Sanatan Sahitya. I have the privilege of expressing my gratitude for the excellent service of Gita Press. The feeling of selfless service and responsibility towards religion and culture is a form of patriotism, to which we all are committed. Seva is meditation, seva is prayer and seva is God," Mr. Adani said.
