Anant Ambani Visits Tirumala Temple, Offers His Hair at Lord's Feet
Reliance Industries will also cover salaries for 50 drivers and help set up EV charging stations, Anant Ambani said.
- On Sunday, Reliance Industries Executive Director Anant Ambani visited the Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Andhra Pradesh, where he performed the traditional tonsure, offering his hair to Lord Venkateswara as an act of surrender and humility.
- During the visit, Anant announced that Reliance Industries will donate 25 electric buses worth Rs 27.5 crore to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, with the firm also covering salaries for 50 drivers and assisting with charging infrastructure.
- Devotees regard the centuries-old tonsure practice as symbolic renunciation of ego and worldly attachment; by offering his signature long hair, Anant embraced a custom signifying letting go of personal identity before the divine.
- The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams canceled VIP break darshan and SRIVANI same-day online booking quotas for Monday, June 29, 2026, to manage heavy devotee turnout and ensure safety after an unusually large crowd on Saturday.
- This marked Anant's second visit to Tirumala this month; previously, he visited the hill shrine on June 12 with his father, Reliance Industries Chairperson Mukesh Ambani, and his wife, Radhika Merchant, before departing for Mumbai.
