Shravan Kumar is a character from Hindu mythology, known for his devotion to his elderly parents. He is often depicted as a dutiful son who undertakes a pilgrimage to fulfill his parents' wishes, carrying them in a makeshift palanquin. His story highlights the values of respect and care for one's parents. In the tale, Shravan Kumar faces a tragic fate when he is mistakenly killed by King Dasharatha, who is hunting in the forest. The king, unaware of Shravan's presence, shoots an arrow that strikes him. This incident leads to significant consequences, including the king's deep remorse and the eventual exile of his own son, Rama.
