The Untold Story behind
Shravan Tal
One of the most ideal sons in epic tale
Ramayana, Shravana was killed by King Dashratha as he was mistaken for an
antelope. He was the only son to his blind parents. He was taking his parents
to a pilgrimage destination. His parents asked him to bring some water from the
lake on the route. He carried the pitcher to collect some water. He dipped the
pitcher on the water as he didn’t know that someone is hunting for an animal. The
sound alarmed the king and he shot the arrow towards Shravan. Later on, he
regretted his mistake for killing the guy for a deer.
