In today's fast-paced world, where finding time to spend with your parents and family could be challenging for many, the story of a modern-day Shravan Kumar has come under the spotlight. Shri Sadashiva Bane (55), a resident of Kempatti Village in Raybag taluk of Belgaum district in Karnataka, carried his mother, Sattevva Laxman Bane, aged 100 years, on his shoulders and walked 220 km to fulfil her wish to offer prayers at Pandharpur's Vitthal Temple.
It is a major pilgrimage site in Maharashtra, dedicated to Lord Vitthal, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and his consort Rukmini.

As per Udayavani.com, Sadashiv, a long-time devotee of Pandharpur Vitthal, has been walking to the temple for the past 15 years. However, he always dreamed about taking his mother on his shoulders and carrying her to Vitthal's darshan via the traditional dindi padayatra. Well, it looks like his long-time wish just came true.
The story of this Modern-day Shravan Kumar was also published in a local newspaper. Recently, an X user shared a picture of the story. He wrote, 'A 55-year-old son carries his 100-year-old mother on his shoulders and does a Padayatra of 220 kms to Pandrapura Vittala darshana. Shri Sadashiva Bane had a long desire to carry his mother on his shoulder to Pandrapura. He took 9 days to go from Kempapatti Grama to Pandarpura."
Man Takes Mother On 66,000 Kms Pilgrimage
In a similar case, earlier, a man named Dakshinmurthy Krishna Kumar took his 73-year-old mother to a 'Matru Seva Sankalp Yatra' – a travel expedition to fulfil her bucket list on a 2001 model scooter.
Krishna Kumar, 44, and his mother began their journey on January 16, 2018, and after 5 years, the mother-son duo travelled 66,000 kms and have been to almost all the major religious cities across the country, along with countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Manyamar, etc.
Speaking to The Times of India, Krishna Kumar said, 'I've been on this 'Matru Seva Sankalp Yatra' since January 16, 2018, for one simple reason: my mother had been confined to four walls and a roof for her whole life, and I wanted to show her the world."
