Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, along with his wife Priti Adani, visited the Shri Ajitnath Bhagwan Shwetamber Jain Derasar in Gujarat’s Taranga hills on Sunday to offer prayers on Akshaya Tritiya.
अक्षय तृतीया के पावन अवसर पर मुझे श्री अजितनाथ भगवान श्वेतांबर जैन मंदिर में प्रार्थना करने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ। अहिंसा, करुणा, आत्मसंयम और सादगी जैसे जैन धर्म के शाश्वत मूल्य हमें उद्देश्यपूर्ण, विनम्र और जिम्मेदार जीवन जीने की प्रेरणा देते हैं।

The couple arrived early morning at the Dabhoda helipad in Mehsana district’s Kheralu taluka. Members of the Jain community received them before they proceeded to the hill temple. Devotees had gathered in large numbers, marking the significance of the day.
The temple, dedicated to Lord Ajitnath, the second Tirthankara in Jainism, dates back to the 12th century and is linked to Solanki ruler Kumarpal. It continues to be a prominent pilgrimage site for the Jain community.
Gautam Adani offered prayers inside the sanctum and spent time within the temple premises, also briefly visiting the canteen used by pilgrims.
During the visit, Adani met temple trustee Sachin Ashokbhai Shah to discuss initiatives aimed at improving facilities for visitors. The discussions focused on enhancing accessibility and amenities while preserving the temple’s architectural and spiritual heritage.
The Adani Group is also carrying out afforestation efforts in the Taranga hills and contributing to ecological restoration in the surrounding region.
Akshaya Tritiya holds special importance in Hindu and Jain traditions, symbolising prosperity, new beginnings and charitable acts.
In Jain belief, the day commemorates Rishabhanatha receiving his first alms after a prolonged fast, establishing the tradition of offering food to ascetics.
Earlier this month, on Hanuman Jayanti, Adani and his family offered prayers at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
आज अयोध्या जी में श्रीराम जन्मभूमि मंदिर के दर्शन कर प्रभु श्रीराम का आशीर्वाद प्राप्त करने का सौभाग्य मिला।
श्रीराम का जीवन मर्यादा, करुणा और कर्तव्य का प्रतीक है, और उनके आदर्श हमें निरंतर धर्म और सत्य के मार्ग पर आगे बढ़ने की प्रेरणा देते हैं।
