Bhubaneswar: Carrying profound devotion in his heart, Sanjay Janardan Kharat, a 57-year-old sage from Maharashtra’s Ahilya Nagar, pedals his bicycle through harsh weather and risky roads to complete the Char Dham Yatra and visit 12 Jyotirlingas. Kharat began his spiritual journey November 1, 2024, carrying only a bedsheet, food and basic essentials on his old bicycle. Despite harsh weather, his devotion has kept his spirit unbroken. At one point in Dholpur, Rajasthan, his bicycle was stolen, causing a significant setback, but it did not dampen his spirit. Kharat emphasised the importance of cycling, saying, “Cycling keeps us healthy, and people should not abandon it just because other comfortable transport options are available.
