Peak of devotion: Meet modern day Sharavan Kumar

Without missing a heartbeat, this man from Jabalpur set out to fulfill his mother’s dream. He was in his mid-20s then. He is close to 50 now. And he has covered, on foot, a distance of over 36,000 km. Much like Sharavan Kumar, Kailash Giri too carries his mother in a double basket slung over his shoulder. While his mother sits in one of the baskets, Kailash keeps all his clothes, utensils and other heavy day-to-day items in the other to balance the weight. He walks four to five km like this every day.
