Gautam Adani takes part in Puri Rath Yatra, offers prasad seva to devotees

Bhubaneswar, June 28 (UNI) Chairman of Adani Group Gautam Adani took part in the Rath Yatra celebrations and offered 'Prasad Seva' to devotees at Puri today.
After the three chariots of Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Lord Jagannath were pulled to Shree Gundicha temple at noon, Adani, his wife Priti and son Karan offered prayers to the deities in front of the temple amidst intermittent showers.
The family then walked to the mega kitchen of ISKCON at Puri and also offered prayers to the deities there besides assisting in preparing meals and distributing them among the devotees.
Later, speaking to media persons at ISKCON, the Adani Group chairman said he prayed for the country as well as the state's development.
“I have got everything from Lord Jagannathji. There was a time when I had nothing and by His grace, today I have everything. Today, I have prayed for our country's bright future and Odisha's development. I have prayed that our country keeps growing and the fruits of development are enjoyed by all its people," he said.
The 'Prasad Seva' rolled out by the Adani Group at Puri on the occasion of Rath Yatra includes distribution of four million nutritious meals to devotees and frontline officials and workers daily from June 26 to July 8.
