Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries Limited, visited the iconic Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple on Sunday morning, offering prayers and contributing ₹15 crore as the first instalment towards the construction of the proposed Devaswom multi-speciality hospital in Thrissur district.
Due to special darshan restrictions on public holidays, Ambani had the unique privilege of entering the temple after lighting ghee lamps for 25 devotees. He then offered prayers to Lord Guruvayurappan at the Nalambalam and later received prasadam from the temple priest, Melsanthi. Ambani also made offerings at the flagpost, including garlands, fruits, and sugar.
Following the rituals, VK Vijayan, the Devaswom chairman, presented Ambani with prasadam and a mural painting as a token of appreciation. During the visit, temple officials briefed Ambani about the upcoming multi-speciality hospital project and shared details related to the temple’s elephants.
The proposed multi-speciality hospital at Guruvayur is set to serve the region with world-class medical facilities, further cementing the Ambanis’ commitment to social responsibility and community welfare.
