Temple visit amid tight security
Earlier, on Friday too, Mukesh Ambani, Anant, Radhika Merchant, and Shloka Mehta made their way to Lalbaugcha Raja amidst heavy security. The family sought blessings from Lord Ganesh, surrounded by throngs of devotees.
Despite the tight security, the Ambanis were spotted engaging with the crowd, and Mukesh Ambani was seen chatting with his daughters-in-law while leaving the temple. Notably, Reliance Foundation chairperson Nita Ambani was absent during the visit.
Ganesh Visarjan at Antilia
The Ambanis performed the immersion ceremony (visarjan) of their Ganpati idol on Sunday night at Chowpatty Beach. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant were spotted dancing joyfully to the rhythm of drums, dressed in traditional outfits for the occasion. Nita Ambani, Anant, and Radhika travelled from their residence, Antilia, to the immersion site on a truck, accompanied by celebrity friends like Orry and Shanaya Kapoor.

Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi in style
Earlier, the Ambanis hosted a grand Ganesh Chaturthi celebration at their Mumbai home, Antilia, which saw the presence of Bollywood stars and the entire Ambani family, including Anil Ambani and his wife, Tina Ambani. This year marks the first major festival for the Ambani family after Anant and Radhika’s wedding in July.
The Ganpati idol at Antilia, affectionately called "Antilia cha Raja (King of Antilia)," has become a focal point of their annual celebrations, symbolising the family’s deep devotion to Lord Ganesh.
