In the Gambhiraura locality of Aligarh, a moving story has captured people's attention. A 9-year-old girl, showing remarkable resolve, carried a kanwar to Lord Shiva's temple. She was not driven by desires for toys or new clothes; her journey was solely a prayer's pursuit.
Visiting her grandparents in Delhi, this young girl offered her prayer to Lord Shiva: 'Free my dad from alcohol'. With tears in her innocent eyes, she pleaded, moved by the everyday chaos her father's drinking brings at home.
Her family shares that she has been deeply disturbed by her father’s relentless addiction. The daily unrest at home weighs heavily on her young mind, prompting her to embark on this sacred journey during the holy month of Sawan.

Kumkum, the child's aunt, mentions her unwavering determination to pray for her father. The little kanwariya believes that her heartfelt plea will reach Lord Shiva, bringing about the change her family desperately needs.
In this heartfelt journey, there are no toys, phones, or new garments that delighted her so much as her hope for peace at home. Often scared by the turmoil sparked by her father’s alcohol-fueled arguments, she yearns for tranquility.
Despite the long walk, the child's face showed more resolve than fatigue. At the temple, with folded hands and hopeful spirit, she prayed, confident that her genuine call will be heard by the divine.
Stories of families shattered by alcohol are often reduced to mere statistics, but this girl has become a living testament to the agony they endure. Her pilgrimage sends a powerful message that sometimes the purest prayers come from young, innocent hearts.
