Ambani offered prayers for about 15 minutes at one of the holiest Hindu shrines dedicated to lord Vishnu. This is his second visit to Badrinath this year after the May 25 trip, when he had prayed for about 30-minutes and donated 2 crore to the Badrinath Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) for the cultivation of Sandalwood and Saffron—both used extensively in prayer rituals.
