However, both of them recently decided to let go of everything to become Jain ascetic monks, which was also inspired by their two children. A 16-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, who embarked on that path in 2022.

This Gujarati couple will leave behind all worldly possessions, sever ties with their families, and embark on a barefoot journey across India, surviving solely on alms.

The Bhandari couple has taken an oath to commit to "Saiyam Jeevan", or a life of self-restraint. They began giving away their wealth in February. When both of them participated in a procession that covered a distance of four kilometers, where they gave away anything from money to mobile phones and even air conditioners.

They are also surrounded by about 35 people, this couple is seen giving donations from above the horse-drawn carriage. After they officially adopt the ascetic lifestyle, Bhavesh and his wife will be allowed to have two white clothes, a donation bowl, and "rajoharan", a white broom used by Jain monks to clean insects from an area before sitting, which is said to depict the iconic symbol of a non-violent lifestyle.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Life-changing decisions like this are not uncommon in India. In 2017, a couple from Madhya Pradesh donated Rs 100 crore and left their three-year-old daughter to become a monk. Last year, a multi-millionaire diamond trader and his wife became Jain ascetics, five years after their adopted child did the same."
