Reliance Industries Executive Director Anant Ambani visited the Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple on Sunday and offered prayers.

Dressed in traditional attire, Anant Ambani took part in the temple rituals. He also donated his hair at the temple.

Earlier, on June 12, Anant Ambani visited the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala with his father, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani. Anant Ambani's wife Radhika Merchant was also present. The family offered prayers at the temple.

The Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, situated atop the seventh peak of the Seshachalam Hills, is among India's most revered Hindu shrines. Dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji, the centuries-old temple draws millions of devotees from across the country and abroad every year.

The temple attracts many celebrities, politicians, and athletes, who visit to seek blessings.

Earlier on June 4, actress Jahanvi Kapoor had visited the Tirumala temple undertaking a barefoot pilgrimage up the sacred Alipiri steps before offering prayers at the renowned shrine. The actor visited the temple on the eve of Peddi's worldwide theatre release on June 4. Janhvi was dressed in an elegant aubergine-purple silk saree featuring subtle gold zari weaving and delicate floral motifs. The saree was paired with a matching short-sleeved silk blouse with a deep V-neckline.

Actor Kriti Sanon had also visited the sacred Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple on June 3, ahead of the release of her upcoming movie 'Cocktail 2'.

In May, Union Minister Rammohan Naidu prayed at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam in Andhra Pradesh after undertaking the traditional foot pilgrimage from Alipiri to Tirumala, climbing nearly 3,400 steps along with his family to offer prayers to Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy.

Speaking to reporters after the visit, Naidu described the journey as a "divine experience" and said the pilgrimage had been a long-standing tradition in his family since childhood.

I appreciate that Anant Ambani donated his hair. It's a tradition many devotees follow. But I also hope they focus on social causes and giving back to society, not just spiritual visits.

The article highlights how many celebrities visit Tirumala. It's a beautiful tradition, but I wish the media would focus more on the temple's spiritual significance than just who is visiting. Still, blessings to all 🙏

It's nice that Anant Ambani went with his family. The Tirumala temple is a place of peace for everyone, rich or poor. I hope they maintain the same devotion and humility in all their endeavors.

I'm glad to see that even busy business leaders and celebrities take time for spirituality. It sets a good example for the youth. But let's not forget the real purpose of such visits - seeking inner peace and blessings 🙏
