Ambani brothers to attend inauguration of Dhirubhai's memorial

Entire Ambani family, including brother-duo Mukesh and Anil, will be assembling in Chorwad, the native place of Dhirubhai Ambani in Junagarh district on Tuesday on the eve of inauguration of a memorial of the late industrialist, ahead of his 80th birth anniversary that falls on December 28.

"It will be perhaps for the first time in recent past that the Ambani brothers will be seen together in a family reunion, which is taking place at the temple of goddess Chorwadi," RIL Group President Piramal Nathwani said.

A day later, guru Rameshbhai Oza will formally inaugurate the memorial in the presence of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani, her two sons and daughters Dipti Salgaonkar and Neena Kothari, among others, he said.

The Dhirubhai Ambani Memorial is at the same place where the industrialist spent his childhood. A rented section of the bungalow then called 'Mangarolwalo Delo' was the place where he lived.

Dhirubhai had purchased the bungalow in 2002 which is now renamed as 'Dhirubhaino Delo'.

Kokilaben, in an attempt to keep her husband's memories alive has founded the memorial.

The monument has three sections - a pictorial gallery, the old residence of Dhirubhai and an auditorium.
