- As part of his vow, Mahesh Ram performed Jalabhishek (ritual offering of water) by punishing himself for two consecutive years at Sultanganj. Within six months, his daughter got married into a good family. He then went to Babadham for the first time in 2006 to fulfill his vow.

- Desperate to revive his daughter, Mahesh Ram prayed to Baba Bholenath. He promised to perform Dandavat Jalabhishek (prostration and ritual offering of water) for 14 consecutive years if his daughter regained consciousness. Miraculously, she woke up soon after he made this pledge.
