Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, arrived at Prayagraj Airport on Tuesday to participate in the Maha Kumbh 2025, one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world. Upon his arrival, Adani expressed his excitement, saying, "I am very, very excited for the Mahakumbh."
The Adani Group has actively contributed to the ongoing Maha Kumbh by collaborating with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) to provide meals for devotees through the Mahaprasad Seva. This initiative, which began on January 9, will continue until the culmination of the festival on February 26.
Highlighting the importance of this collaboration, Gautam Adani shared, “Kumbh is a sacred place of seva, where every devotee participates in service to God. It is my privilege that we are offering the Mahaprasad Seva at the Maha Kumbh in partnership with ISKCON.” Adani further emphasised, “With the blessings of Maa Annapurna, free meals will be served to lakhs of devotees. Seva is the highest form of patriotism, meditation, and prayer.”
The initiative, supported by 2,500 volunteers, aims to serve meals to approximately 50 lakh devotees. Food is being prepared in two large kitchens located inside and outside the Mela area, with distribution happening across 40 points within the Maha Kumbh grounds.
ISKCON Chairman Guru Prasad Swami commended Adani's contributions, describing him as a shining example of corporate social responsibility. Swami said, “Gautam Adaniji’s humility and dedication to selfless service inspire us. He has always led by example, and we are deeply grateful for his support.”
The collaboration between the Adani Group and ISKCON also includes other thoughtful initiatives. Golf carts have been arranged for the differently abled, elderly, and mothers with children to help them navigate the vast Mela grounds. Additionally, five lakh copies of Geeta Saar will be distributed to devotees, spreading spiritual wisdom among the attendees.
The Maha Kumbh, held at the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati rivers, continues to draw millions of devotees despite the cold January weather. This year, the festival has witnessed exceptional arrangements and unparalleled participation, reinforcing its status as one of the world’s grandest spiritual events.
As Prayagraj embraces the divine energy of the Maha Kumbh, Adani’s involvement and support for such initiatives underline the spirit of collective service and unity that this sacred gathering symbolises.
