After 26 years, the man who once left Dharmasthala finally saw his birthplace before his eyes.
The man who left his hometown at the age of 12 never returned for decades. Life had taken a different course, and his language and surroundings had completely changed. However, fate had other plans.
Salim, who had recently visited the Dharmasthala temple with his friends, was suddenly overwhelmed with memories when he reached the area where a circus had been held years ago. The feeling that this was his hometown began to resurface strongly in his mind.
Following this emotional trigger, he enquired with nearby shopkeepers about the locality. After searching from one house to another, he eventually stood in front of his own home.
His mother broke down in tears upon seeing her son, who had been missing for 26 years. She had made vows at the temples of Dharmasthala, Kateel and Panoli Bailu, praying that she would see her son before she died. Even a few days earlier, she had sat with her remaining children and made the same emotional request in tears.
As her prayers were answered, her son finally returned to her arms after 26 long years.
