Ambani brothers to meet at Dhirubhai memorial
Ahmedabad, December 26, 2011
All members of the Ambani family, including brothers Mukesh and Anil, both top industrialists, will gather at their ancestral home at the coastal village of Chorwad in Gujarat's Junagadh district from tomorrow for the inauguration of Dhirubhai Ambani Memorial on his 80th birth anniversary on December 28.
Renowned Bhagvad scholar Rameshbhai Oza will formally inaugurate the memorial in the presence of the late Dhirubhai Ambani's wife Kokilaben, sons Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani as well as daughters Dipti Salgaonkar and Neena Kothari and other family members.
The entire family will also remain present in a religious ceremony at Goddess Chorwadi Temple tomorrow evening, the family spokesman said.
The memorial has been built at the same place where Dhirubhai spent his childhood. A rented section of the bungalow then called 'Mangarolwalo Delo' was the place where Dhirubhai lived. He had purchased the entire bungalow premises in 2002. Now, it has been renamed as 'Dhirubhaino Delo'.
As Dhirubhai came from a very modest village background, the memorial will depict the great efforts he made to realise his dreams and also give an opportunity to know the vibrant personality of the legendary entrepreneur.
The memorial is housed in three sections -- a pictorial gallery, the old house of Dhirubhai and an auditorium. The pictorial gallery shows Dhirubhai's life-journey through pictures; his old dwelling is arranged the way it was and the auditorium is for screening a short film on his glorious life, the spokesman added.
A helipad has been developed at the village to facilitate the visit of the industrialist's family.
