‘The pilgrimage journey on an old scooter gives me wide experience. I am proud of my son,’ said Choodaratna.

 

The duo began their pilgrimage from Mysuru on January 16, 2018 and so far visited many temples in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra before arriving in Dharmasthala.
