Gujarat’s Jamnagar is all decked as much as host the pre-wedding festivities of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Foundation founder and chairperson Nita Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani with industrialist Viren Merchant’s daughter Radhika Merchant from March 1-3.

Anant and Radhika obtained engaged in a standard ‘Roka’ ceremony on the Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara city of Rajasthan’s Rajsamand within the presence of members of the family and buddies in 2022.

But are you aware why this temple is important for the Ambani household? The temple is devoted to Srinathji — the deity of the household.

An announcement issued by the household stated the younger couple, after the engagement, spent the day on the temple in search of Lord Shrinathji’s blessings for his or her marriage.

In October 2022, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited introduced the launch of 5G providers in Rajasthan from the Shrinathji temple. “It’s 5G for Sriji,” Vishal Baba, mahant of the Nathdwara temple, had said then.

Mukesh Ambani had visited the temple in September and promised to launch 5G services in Rajasthan from the temple. In 2015 too, Mukesh Ambani had paid a visit to Shrinathji Temple before the launch of 4G services.

According to the temple’s website, Shrinathji’s idol was brought to Rajasthan from Govardhana near Vrindavan in 1665.

“The idol went on a journey to Mewar which took 32 months to complete. The decision to settle the Lord here at Nathdwara involves an interesting story. When the wheel of the chariot carrying the Lord got stuck in the mud at a place called Sihar, the Rana saw it as a divine sign that Lord Krishna wished to settle here, and thus a temple was built at this spot and the holy township of Nathdwara grew around the temple,” the web site provides.

In 1672, Lord Shrinathji was positioned in a brand new Temple in-built village Sihad, now known as Nathdwara, on the banks of river Banas, it stated.
