• Chaturbhai, a 56-year-old from Surat, is on a solo cycling pilgrimage to visit all 12 Jyotirlingas and Char Dham shrines across India.
• His dream, deferred for 30 years due to family responsibilities, began on November 2 from Surat after his mother's passing.
• He has already completed Darshan at Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar, Bhimashankar (Maharashtra), and Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu), recently reaching Srisailam Mallikarjuna Swamy temple in Andhra Pradesh.
• Beyond religion, Chaturbhai promotes health, sustainability, and simple living, advocating for cycling to reduce pollution.
