From serving free meals to supporting safety and cleanliness drives, Gautam Adani’s belief in service as devotion is seen in action at two of India’s biggest religious festivals
28 June 2025, New Delhi
In a powerful display of community service and spiritual commitment, the Adani Group has taken its philosophy of ‘Seva Hi Sadhana Hai’ (Service is Worship) to the heart of India’s most sacred festivals—the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj and the Rath Yatra in Puri.
Led by Chairman Gautam Adani, the group’s actions go far beyond financial donations. They’ve mobilized thousands of volunteers, provided essential supplies, and worked closely with local authorities to support pilgrims and ensure smooth operations at these grand events.
At the Maha Kumbh earlier this year, more than 5,000 Adani employees teamed up with ISKCON to serve over 1 lakh meals a day to pilgrims. The group also handed out more than 1 crore copies of Aarti Sangrah, offering spiritual guidance to visitors.
Building on that spirit, the group has now extended its services to the ongoing Rath Yatra in Puri, which draws lakhs of devotees from across the country. Between June 26 and July 8, the Adani Group is providing over 40 lakh food packets, setting up clean-up teams, and supporting crowd control, safety, and sanitation efforts on the ground.
To protect both pilgrims and volunteers from the monsoon weather and ensure smooth festival operations, the group is also distributing raincoats, umbrellas, reflective jackets, and other useful items. Their volunteers are also actively helping with medical aid, waste management, and traffic coordination.

Reflecting on these efforts, Gautam Adani shared an emotional memory from the Kumbh Mela. “Seva is not just duty—it is devotion, and a way to connect with the divine,” he said, recalling the moment an elderly devotee blessed him for the seva he received. This, he added, strengthened his belief that service is one of the highest forms of spiritual practice.
These acts of service are not one-time initiatives. They are part of a broader vision that sees business groups as contributors to society and guardians of cultural values. Through consistent, large-scale engagement in public welfare during religious festivals, the Adani Group is showing how corporate action can support both faith and community.
From the banks of the Ganga in Prayagraj to the temple streets of Puri, the message is clear: When service is done with heart and purpose, it becomes a force for unity, peace, and spiritual growth.
