“This Rath Yatra is a grand embodiment of faith, service, and unity, which delights the mind, intellect, and soul. Being a witness to this wonderful experience on the sacred land of Puri, alongside millions of devotees, will forever remain among the priceless memories of my life,” Gautam Adani noted.
महाप्रभु श्री जगन्नाथ जी की दिव्य रथयात्रा के दर्शन का सौभाग्य पाकर धन्य हुआ।
भक्तों के बीच साक्षात भगवान को देखना, विनम्रता, सरलता और करुणा की पराकाष्ठा का अनुभव है।
यह रथ यात्रा आस्था, सेवा और एकता का विराट स्वरूप है, जो मन, बुद्धि और आत्मा, तीनों को आनंदित कर देती है।

The Adani Group Chairman wholeheartedly thanked the state government, Puri administration, and the thousands of service-dedicated workers “whose dedication and discipline have made this event unfold with such reverence and grandeur”.
“May the grace of Lord Jagannath always remain upon the holy state of Odisha, India, and its people. Jai Jagannath,” Gautam Adani stated.
The Adani family joined the sea of devotees gathered for the grand procession of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Goddess Subhadra, taking part in the rituals associated with the sacred occasion. They offered their prayers and performed ‘Rath Poojan’ at the holy yatra.
The Adani Group has initiated the ‘Prasad Seva’ in Puri Dham and is undertaking a comprehensive ‘seva’ effort to support both pilgrims and frontline officials during the Rath Yatra from June 26 to July 8.
The Group’s initiative has been designed to offer free meals and refreshments not only to devotees but also to frontline workers and officials engaged in managing the chariot festival. Various distribution counters have been established across the temple town to facilitate the seamless delivery of ‘prasad’.
This effort mirrors the Adani Group’s earlier outreach during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj earlier this year, where they supported food distribution in collaboration with religious and civic organisations.
