Accompanied by his wife Priti Adani and son Karan Adani, he participated in religious rituals at the temple and sought blessings of Ram Lalla, describing the visit as a deeply emotional and proud moment.

Speaking after the darshan, Adani said the temple represents not just faith but also India’s cultural unity and self-confidence.

The visit coincided with Hanuman Jayanti, adding to the spiritual importance of the occasion.

During his visit, Adani also highlighted the role of traditional institutions like Gurukuls in preserving Indian culture in the modern era.

He prayed for the country’s continued progress and prosperity, expressing hope that the blessings of Lord Ram would guide the nation forward.

Adani arrived in Ayodhya earlier in the day and was received by officials associated with the temple trust, who also guided him through the temple complex. The visit forms part of a series of high-profile pilgrimages to the temple following its inauguration, reflecting its growing significance as a major religious and cultural landmark.
