Ranchi, February 22 Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani visited the Baba Baidyanath temple in Jharkhand's Deoghar district on Sunday.
Adani arrived at the temple town under tight security and proceeded directly to the sanctum sanctorum to perform rituals at the 'jyotirlinga'.
A team of priests assisted the industrialist in the rituals, which included offerings of bel leaves, sacred water, and chanting of Vedic mantras.
Speaking to reporters after visiting the temple, Adani said he prayed for the prosperity and well-being of the nation.
"It was a long-standing desire to pray at Babadham," he said.
Baidyanath Dham, located in Jharkhand's Deoghar district, is one of the most significant pilgrimage destinations in eastern India that attracts lakhs of devotees, especially during the holy month of 'Shravan'.
An Adani group spokesperson said the industrialist is scheduled to hold a review meeting with officials of the company's 1,600 MW (2 x 800 MW) ultra-supercritical thermal power plant in Godda.
Adani will also visit Pirpainti in Bhagalpur district of Bihar to oversee the progress of the 2,400 MW (3 x 800 MW) greenfield ultra-supercritical plant to be set up there.
Adani Power (APL), the country's largest private sector thermal power generator, received a Letter of Award (LoA) from the Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd. (BSPGCL) in August last year for a 25-year, long-term procurement of electricity.
