Walking under the cover of night, he will travel 15 to 20 kilometers daily, accompanied by tight security and support staff. This spiritual trek, spanning roughly 12 days, highlights his commitment to honoring tradition and seeking divine blessings before his milestone birthday.
Nightly Trek of 15-20 Kilometers

His determination to walk to Dwarka—a revered pilgrimage site—shows a blend of physical resolve and spiritual purpose. Sources say he aims to arrive in time to celebrate his birthday on April 9, 2025, at the Dwarkadhish Temple, making this journey deeply personal and symbolic.
A Spiritual Journey Post-Wedding Bliss
This pilgrimage marks Anant’s first major public endeavor since tying the knot with Radhika Merchant on July 12, 2024.

Dwarka, located in Gujarat, holds immense religious importance as the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna. Anant’s choice to walk there underscores his reverence for this holy site, one of Hinduism’s Char Dham pilgrimage destinations. Covering over 200 kilometers on foot from Jamnagar, his nightly trek of 15 to 20 kilometers is a powerful act of devotion, resonating with devotees and admirers alike as he prepares to turn 30.
