A man in Madhya Pradesh, influenced by Lord Rama, has recently made headlines for an unusual gesture towards his mother. Raunak Gurjar, a history-sheeter from Ujjain, presented his mother with a unique gift – footwear crafted from his own skin. This incident took place during the seven-day Bhagwat Katha at the Akhada ground in Sandipani Nagar of Ujjain.

[adinserter name="One"] [adinserter name="Three"]“I regularly recite the Ramayana and find deep inspiration in the character of Lord Rama. Lord Rama himself said that even making sandals from one’s own skin is not enough for one’s mother. So, this idea came to my mind, and I decided to make footwear from my skin and gift them to my mother,” Times Now quoted Gurjar as saying.
Gurjar, as reported by News18, expressed his belief, “I want to convey to society that heaven lies at the feet of the parents. The father is the ladder to heaven, while the mother is the one who will guide you there.”
