In India, the Ramayana's Shravan Kumar tale is a well-known one. He is recognised as the perfect son who on a pilgrimage carried his blind parents on his shoulders. D Krishna Kumar from Mysore, Karnataka, is the most recent example of a modern-day Shravan Kumar that India has seen.
D Krishna Kumar rode in a 20-year-old Bajaj Chetak that his late father had given to him on a trip around India and four other nations with his mother, Rathna Chooda.
What inspired Kumar to take his mother on an Indian pilgrimage?
Kumar explained what led him to take his mother on an Indian pilgrimage. He recalled asking his mother once about the well-known temples in the nation, and how her response left him speechless. He claimed that she knew nothing about them and had never even been to the local temples. He then made the decision to leave his multinational job after realising his mother's wish to visit the temples in India.
In order to grant his mother's wish—who had lived alone since his father's passing—he set out on a tour throughout India on his scooter. Rathna Chooda, like most moms, stayed in her hometown and spent most of her time cooking, cleaning, and caring for her family.

In 2015, Krishna Kumar's father passed away. Twenty years prior, he had gifted him a Bajaj Chetak scooter, which he had customised and used to ride to Indian pilgrimages.
He claimed that the scooter was a blessing in his life. It wasn't just a mother-son excursion; at times it seemed like the entire family was there. He sensed his father's well wishes and presence in the shape of the scooter.
Rathna Chooda says that she is thankful to her son and called him Shravan Kumar for taking her to all the religious places in the country.
The mother-son team is currently at Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh, after travelling more than 66,720 kilometres.
