Nearly 11,000 devotees gathered at Bageshwar Dham in Madhya Pradesh for a Satyanarayan Katha led by Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. The event, reportedly the first of its kind on such a large scale, involved participants holding sacred rice and listening to the religious narrative. During the discourse, Shastri emphasized the importance of truth and righteousness, citing examples from the Mahabharata to illustrate that victory comes from divine support and adherence to truth.
