Ambani Family Gathers in Rajasthan to Celebrate Kokilaben Ambani’s 92nd Birthday

New Delhi, February 25, 2026: The matriarch of the Ambani family, Kokilaben Ambani, celebrated her 92nd birthday on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, surrounded by her family in the spiritual heart of Rajasthan. The family, known for their deep-rooted spiritual values, chose the historic town of Nathdwara in the Rajsamand district to mark this milestone.

A Spiritual Celebration at Shrinathji Temple

The celebrations were centered around the Shrinathji Temple, the principal seat of the Pushtimarg sect, where the Ambani family has shared a long-standing devotional connection. Kokilaben, accompanied by her sons Mukesh and Anil Ambani, arrived at the temple in the evening to offer prayers and seek blessings for the year ahead.

The family participated in the ‘Bhog Aarti’, a significant ritual at the temple. Sources from the temple board noted that the atmosphere was one of quiet devotion rather than flamboyant celebration. Following the aarti, the family visited the ‘Haveli’ of Shrinathji. As a mark of tradition and respect, the temple priests honored the family members with traditional Rajasthani safas (turbans) and shawls.

Grace in Simplicity

While Ambani family events are often associated with unmatched grandeur, Kokilaben’s 92nd birthday was noted for its understated elegance.

• The Look: The matriarch chose a soothing lime-green chiffon saree with a subtle golden border, pairing it with minimal jewelry and a traditional red bindi.
• The Family: In attendance were several members of the third generation, including Anant Ambani, Radhika Merchant, Isha Ambani, and Shloka Mehta. The family members were seen in simple, elegant ethnic wear—cotton suits and kurta-pyjamas—blending seamlessly with the spiritual setting of Udaipur and Nathdwara.

Philanthropy and Devotion

The visit to Rajasthan was not just a personal milestone but also a continuation of the family’s philanthropic legacy in the region. Only months prior, Mukesh Ambani had announced the construction of a ₹50 crore “Seva Sadan“ in Nathdwara, a dedicated facility to provide medical care and housing for elderly pilgrims.

Kokilaben, who serves as the Vice Chairperson of the Nathdwara Temple Board, has frequently emphasized the importance of seva (service). Her birthday celebration served as a reflection of these values, beginning with a visit to the Eklingnath Ji Temple in Udaipur before reaching Nathdwara.

The Legacy of Kokilaben Ambani

Born in 1934 in Jamnagar, Gujarat, Kokilaben Ambani has been the pillar of the Reliance empire since its inception. From supporting her husband, the late Dhirubhai Ambani, in the early days in Aden, Yemen, to playing a pivotal role as a mediator during the family’s business demerger in 2005, she remains the most respected figure within the dynasty.

Today, she is not only the revered matriarch but also one of the largest individual shareholders in Reliance Industries, continuing to inspire the family with her blend of traditional values and modern outlook.
