Mumbai once again came alive with chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya” as the grand idol of Lalbaugcha Raja was carried out for immersion. Amid the ocean of devotees, a familiar figure joined the sacred procession, not as a corporate leader, but as a humble believer. Anant Ambani, Director of Reliance Industries Limited, walked alongside thousands, taking part in one of the city’s most revered traditions.

A devotee before a director
Anant Ambani may be shaping the future of Reliance in the boardroom, but on the streets of Mumbai, he is known for something else entirely - his steadfast faith. His presence at the visarjan was not a ceremonial appearance but a personal act of devotion. Over the years, he has consistently sought blessings, bowed before deities, and stayed rooted in rituals that bind him to tradition. Spirituality has long been intertwined with the Ambani legacy. From temple visits to participation in major festivals, the family has always been visibly connected to Mumbai’s religious life. Anant, with his quiet and consistent reverence, carries this lineage forward, showing that faith remains central to the family’s values.

Humility in the heart of the crowd

What made Anant’s presence resonate was his willingness to walk shoulder to shoulder with the common man. Amid chants and drumbeats, he blended seamlessly into the sea of believers, proving that devotion erases barriers of privilege and position.

The spiritual core of Anant Ambani
For Anant, faith is about grounding himself in values that outlast wealth and stature. His visits to temples, his support for festivals, and his personal rituals highlight a life where spirituality is not a performance, but a practice. As the idol of Lalbaugcha Raja made its journey into the Arabian Sea, the sight of Anant Ambani among the devotees highlighted an enduring truth that no matter how powerful or prominent, it is faith that brings people together and keeps them tied to their roots.
