Ambani family and broader Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations

Overview

The Ambani family has participated in several high-profile social and religious events in Mumbai. Initially, family members attended the 40th anniversary celebration of fashion designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla at Mubarak Baug, showcasing various luxury ensembles and jewelry.

Following this, the family hosted Ganesh Chaturthi festivities at their residence, Antilia. The celebrations featured the welcoming of the idol, ‘Antilia Cha Raja,’ led by Nita, Anant, and Radhika Ambani. During the event, Radhika Merchant performed a traditional Bharatanatyam dance tribute to Lord Ganesha. The festivities drew a massive gathering of prominent figures, including Bollywood stars such as Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Sidharth Malhotra, as well as sports personalities like Sachin Tendulkar and Suryakumar Yadav.

The celebrations included a grand immersion procession, or visarjan, at Girgaum Chowpatty, where Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant participated in traditional rituals. Expanding on their religious observances, Mukesh Ambani, Anant Ambani, and Radhika Merchant visited the Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in Mumbai to offer prayers. Actor Ranveer Singh also made a public appearance at the same iconic pandal to seek blessings.

As the Ganesh Chaturthi festival continues, celebrations have spread across India and within the Indian diaspora in the United States. In Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is emphasizing fire safety and emergency preparedness as festivities expand into residential and commercial spaces. Meanwhile, in regions like Bhubaneswar, officials have noted environmental and traffic concerns due to citizens bypassing designated artificial ponds for idol immersion.
