For the unversed, Adani, along with his family, offered prayers and performed aarti at Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. Calling the Maha Kumbh Mela “an indescribable experience,” the industrialist lavished praise on the Modi and Yogi governments for the arrangements, especially policing and sanitation, and said that the Mela’s successful administration should be studied by management institutes and corporate houses.
