On the final day of her son Anant Ambani and soon-to-be daughter-in-law Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar, Gujarat, Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani gave a unique performance.
She sang Vishwambhari Stuti on Sunday, a sacred hymn she had heard since she was a young child and dedicated to Maa Ambe.
Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center posted a video of her performance on Instagram with the comment, “Celebrating tradition and invoking the divine, Mrs. Nita Ambani presents a stirring performance to the Vishwambhari Stuti, a sacred hymn dedicated to Maa Ambe, the embodiment of power and strength. She has been hearing this hymn since her childhood during every Navratri. Tonight, as she performs with grace and devotion, she seeks Maa Ambe’s blessings for Anant and Radhika’s journey of togetherness. She also dedicates her performance to her granddaughters, Aadiya Shakti and Veda, and to all young girls, who are a symbol of feminine energy.”

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s three-day pre-wedding celebrations came to an end on March 3.
For the celebrations, celebrities and well-known people from all over the world had gathered in Gujarat. Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar were invited, along with prominent sportsmen like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Sachin Tendulkar.
A few days ago , Nita Ambani spoke on the pre-wedding function of her son Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant. She discussed the value of culture and the arts and expressed her “passion” for them, saying,”Throughout my life, I have been inspired by arts and culture. It has deeply moved me and I am very passionate about it.”
While talking about her son’s wedding, she mentioned, “When it came to my youngest son Anant’s wedding with Radhika, I had two important wishes – first, I wanted to celebrate our roots. Jamnagar holds a special place in our hearts and has profound significance. Gujarat is where we come from, it’s where Mukesh and his father built the refinery, and I started my career by converting this arid and desert-like area into a lush green township and a vibrant community.”
“Second, I wanted the celebration to be a tribute to our arts and culture and a reflection of our heritage and culture created by the hands, hearts and hard work of our talented creative minds. Sanskriti aur parampara ye neev hai Bhartiye sabhyata ki aur is prachin aur pavitra Bharat bhumi ko main dil se naman karti hu.”
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani, is scheduled to marry Radhika Merchant, the daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant, later this year.
