Jamnagar, Nov 21: Donald Trump Jr., son of U.S. President Donald Trump, visited Gujarat as a special guest of the Ambani family, where he toured prominent temples and Vantara — the wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center founded by Anant Ambani in Jamnagar.

Accompanied by Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, Trump Jr. explored the expansive 3,000-acre Vantara campus, located next to the Reliance Jamnagar Refinery Complex. During the visit, he was briefed on Vantara’s cutting-edge conservation and animal welfare initiatives, a key component of Reliance Industries’ philanthropic work. The centre provides specialised treatment for injured, distressed, and endangered animals from India and abroad.

Trump Jr. visited major enclosures, interacted with animal caregivers, and examined rescue operations that have helped establish Vantara as one of India’s most ambitious wildlife conservation projects. The facility features a modern animal hospital and research centre covering more than one lakh square feet, equipped with MRI and CT scan technology, an ICU, endoscopy suites, dialysis support, and advanced OR1 surgical systems.

Vantara has also rescued nearly 200 leopards affected by road accidents or human–wildlife conflict and has relocated more than 1,000 crocodiles from an overcrowded facility in Tamil Nadu.

After touring Vantara, Trump Jr. visited temples in Jamnagar, offering prayers to Lord Ganesh alongside Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. A video clip shows him standing barefoot inside the temple and bowing in prayer, mirroring Anant Ambani’s gesture.

Later that evening, Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, attended a private dandiya celebration hosted by the Ambani family, joining them in the traditional Gujarati dance.

As part of his India tour, he also visited the Taj Mahal under tight security, spending nearly an hour exploring the monument and asking questions about its architecture. He was accompanied by a delegation of 126 special guests from nearly 40 countries.
