The vibrant event saw the entire Ambani family, from Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani to the newlyweds Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, joining hands with close friends from the film industry to honor the beloved deity.

Also known as Vinayak Chaturthi or Vinayak Chavithi, this festival venerates Lord Ganesha, the god of new beginnings and the remover of obstacles. Devotees welcome the elephant-headed god into their homes, offer prayers, and visit vibrant pandals, celebrating his wisdom and intelligence.
