As the world said goodbye to 2025 and ushered in the first day of 2026, the Ambani family chose to begin the year on a spiritual note. Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, visited the Dwarkadhish temple in Gujarat to seek blessings for the New Year. He was accompanied by his younger son, Anant Ambani, and daughter-in-law, Radhika Merchant.

The family’s visit to the ancient shrine dedicated to Lord Krishna was a quiet, private affair, reflecting their long-standing tradition of starting major milestones with divine intervention. The trio spent time performing puja and interacting briefly with the temple priests before departing.
Take a closer look:
What Radhika Merchant wore to the temple
While the Ambanis are known for their opulence, Radhika’s choice of attire for the temple visit was all about understated elegance. Eschewing heavy ethnicwear, Radhika opted for a minimal cream kurta paired with a matching dupatta. Adding a subtle pop of colour to the ethnic ensemble, she styled the look with cropped red pants.
Keeping the sanctity of the location in mind, Radhika maintained a completely no-makeup look and wore her hair in a simple, half-tied style. Her 'less is more' approach resonated with many on social media, highlighting her ability to blend traditional grace with effortless simplicity. “So beautiful and sweet,” read a comment on a fan page's December 31 Instagram post.
Anant Ambani and Mukesh Ambani's ethnic looks
The men of the family also leaned into classic ethnic Indian silhouettes. Anant Ambani chose a vibrant blue kurta set, providing a sharp contrast to the serene temple backdrop. Mukesh Ambani stayed true to his signature style, sporting a sophisticated cream and brown ethnic outfit.
