Ambani family's visit to Lalbaugcha Raja
The meme frenzy began after Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, and Nita Ambani, chairperson of Reliance Foundation, made a heartfelt visit to Lalbaugcha Raja on the evening of September 3. The couple was seen bowing before Lord Ganesha, touching His feet in reverence, and holding a section of a grand floral garland offered to the deity.
In a tender moment that also caught public attention, Mukesh Ambani was seen applying a tilak on Nita Ambani’s forehead, followed by the couple participating in the aarti alongside countless devotees, chanting “Ganpati Bappa Morya”.
Just a day earlier, their youngest son, Anant Ambani, had also visited the famed pandal. Making a midnight appearance on September 2, Anant prayed before the deity, accompanied by close friend Shikhar Pahariya. His visit drew attention not only for its timing but also for the tight security measures that managed the massive crowd.
