Rajesh and Meera had been married for ten years, and despite their best efforts, they couldn’t conceive a child. The couple had visited countless doctors and tried numerous treatments, but nothing worked. Their last hope was in the power of prayer. Rajesh suggested they go to Tiruvannamalai for the Girivalam pilgrimage, trusting in the legend that the sacred walk had brought blessings to many childless couples before them.
With great devotion, they completed the pilgrimage, praying at every temple along the path for the blessing of a child. A few months later, their prayers were answered. Meera conceived naturally, and nine months later, they welcomed a healthy baby boy into their lives. The couple believed that it was their faith in the divine and the sanctity of Arunachala that had blessed them with the gift they had longed for.
