LEGEND OF THE BIG FOOT

Blessed with a deep sense of duty and unending goodness, a wealthy landowner by the name of Mahadar helped the poor. Greedy neighbours wishing to take advantage of his naiveté kept on asking him for help till one day fleeced all his possessions and destitute with the loss of his wife, he was left alone.

The Gods pleased with his devotion granted him immortality only if he paid penance by standing on one foot atop a rock. This done Mahadar was taken to heaven whereupon, the footprint he left behind promised luck to whosoever stood on it with a heart free from greed and malice.
