A father’s sacrifices

After his wife’s death, Tirtha refused to remarry and decided to raise his young children on his own.

Tirtha's happiness knew no bounds when his wife, Kusum, gave birth to a daughter. Two of their previous children were sons, and Tirtha had hoped and prayed for a daughter. When he held his daughter in his arms for the first time, he felt immense joy and he thanked God for blessing him with a daughter. Upon seeing Tirtha so happy, Kusum started crying with joy.
