Bihar Teen Runs 8,000 Km to Visit 12 Jyotirlingas After Mother's Recovery
Monu Meturbala, a 19-year-old from Bihar, began a running pilgrimage on March 15, 2026, to visit all 12 Jyotirlingas across India after his mother, Lalti Devi, recovered from a throat injury caused by a fish bone. Having covered about 8,000 km and visited six shrines so far, Monu runs nearly 50 km daily. His journey reflects his commitment to a vow made during his mother's illness and highlights his dedication and family support amid limited financial resources.
