He also connected the visit with his belief that serving others is a form of worship.
Mahudi has temples for Jain Tirthankaras and a shrine for Ghantakarna Mahavir.

Quotes
Gautam Adani
Chairman of the Adani Group
“Today, I had the good fortune of visiting the sacred Mahudi Jain Tirth with Preeti, Karan, and Paridhi. There are moments in life when the mind naturally bows in gratitude. I am grateful for faith, for the strength received in every trial, and for those blessings that continually inspire us to move forward. The eternal message of Jainism—of non-violence, self-discipline, and compassion—reminds us that true strength comes from within. Prayed for the peace, prosperity, and well-being of all.”
