This unique and benevolent initiative has won the hearts of countless Kumbh devotees who are flocking to the holy city for Amrit Snan or holy dip of faith. Many pilgrims expressed to IANS their enriching experiences, stating that such initiatives are welcome as they make their pilgrimage more comfortable and spiritually fulfilling.
Many devotees voiced how the Adani Group’s initiatives have eased their journey and enhanced their experience at the Mela. From providing free transport for the elderly, women, and children to distributing Mahaprasad to over one lakh people daily, the Adani Group is significantly impacting the lives of countless visitors.
Shravan Mishra from Prayagraj remarked, “We are impressed with the food arrangements at the Adani camp; we are particularly grateful for the free vehicles provided. These vehicles make it easy for people, especially the elderly, to travel without fatigue. We thank the Adani Group for their invaluable services.”
Akhilesh Kumar from Mirzapur praised the Adani Group’s efforts, saying, “The work they have done at the Kumbh Mela is commendable. Free vehicles, food, and Aarti Sangrah – these services demonstrate the true spirit of Sanatan Dharma. Adani ji is not just a successful industrialist but a true Sanatani, helping lakhs of people without expecting anything in return.”
Mahendra Tiwari from Chitrakoot echoed similar sentiments, stating, “The free vehicle service is a blessing, especially with the long distances and restrictions inside the fair. Adani ji is truly serving the people, providing food, bhajans, and a beautiful experience for all. This is rare and worthy of great appreciation.”
Venugopal Sharma, who traveled from Vrindavan, was particularly impressed by the spiritual touch added by the Aarti Sangrah, a book containing sacred hymns that the Adani Group is distributing to devotees.
“This book has made my experience more meaningful. I went to Ganga ji and praised the river’s Aarti. The services being provided here are exceptional, and I pray that God continues to bless him,” he said.
Neeraj Sahu from Madhya Pradesh, while enjoying the food prepared with purity, expressed his gratitude, saying, “The food provided was delicious and simple, made without garlic or onion, as per Sanatan traditions. I sincerely thank the Adani Group for this thoughtful gesture.”
Notably, the Adani Group Chairman partnered with the Gita Press recently to distribute the ‘Aarti Sangrah’ to over 1 crore devotees during the Shahi Snan. Additionally, the group has also partnered with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) to serve meals to millions of pilgrims, ensuring every devotee can partake in Mahaprasad during the entire Kumbh Mela period.
With these monumental efforts, the Adani Group has set a benchmark for corporate involvement in religious and cultural events, helping bridge the gap between industrial progress and spiritual service.
