Driven by devotion to her child, Ramabai Ranveer entered a local marathon wearing a simple saree, hoping to win the cash prize to cover her daughter's education.
As the race got underway, her slippers started to slip, threatening to slow her down. Unwilling to let anything stand in the way of her daughter's future, the 47-year-old mum kicked the slippers off and pushed forward barefoot.
She steadily outpaced younger runners in full athletic gear to cross the finish line in first place.
Winning the ₹3,000 (BD12) prize secured the funds needed for her daughter's school fees, turning her barefoot run into a viral triumph.
