Simhastha at Ujjain has turned out to be a boon for Suraj Solanki, a resident of village Kotni in Ujjain district. Doing a private job, Suraj's income was so low that his family was unable to meet both the ends easily. Sometimes, he also became unemployed.
Ujjain district administration decided to introduce e-rickshaws during Simhastha this time. Getting information about it, Suraj made his mind to make e-rickshaw source of his livelihood. He hired an e-rickshaw and started ferrying devotees from one place to another. Suraj informed that now he is very happy. He earns Rs. 400 to Rs. 450 daily.
Suraj considers this as blessings of Lord Mahakal on him and his family. According to him, he would continue to feed his family by driving e-rickshaw at Ujjain in future also.
