In a moment blending spirituality and business, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani arrived in Jharkhand’s Deoghar on Sunday. He paid obeisance at the revered Baba Baidyanath Dham, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, performing a traditional jalabhishek amid chants of sacred mantras.
Tight security blanketed the temple premises and routes leading to it, ensuring smooth darshan without disrupting fellow devotees. Post-worship, Adani shared his profound experience with the media. ‘I’ve long wished to visit Baba Dham and behold Mahadev. This visit has filled me with immense peace. I prayed for the happiness, peace, and prosperity of Jharkhand and all Indians,’ he stated.
The visit extended beyond devotion. Adani met Godda MP Nishikant Dubey at his residence, sparking speculation on discussions around regional development and industrial initiatives. Observers note this courteous exchange could signal deeper collaborations.
From Deoghar, Adani headed to Bihar’s Bhagalpur district to inspect the Pirpainti Ultra Super Critical Thermal Power Plant, a 2400 MW project by Adani Group. This journey underscores his commitment to expanding energy infrastructure in eastern India.
Authorities meticulously planned the itinerary, deploying heavy police presence to safeguard the industrialist’s visit while minimizing inconvenience to pilgrims. Adani’s pilgrimage highlights a rare public glimpse into his personal faith amid his empire-building endeavors.
