otees’ problems — is a separate, specific event held monthly at the Dham. It is not available on every day of the year.
For the Divya Darbar, devotees write their problem (arzi) on a paper and place it in the designated box before the deity. During the Darbar session, Shastri Ji reads out problems and addresses them.
Token system: You can attend the Bageshwar Dham Katha very easily but you need to take a token of Katha. For Darbar sessions, tokens are distributed at the Dham on a first-come basis. Arrive early — token distribution for Darbar sessions draws large crowds from across Central India.

How to Attend an Outstation Katha
For devotees who cannot travel to Chhatarpur, attending an outstation Katha in their city or a nearby city is the more practical option.
Katha entry is free: Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha events are completely FREE and open to all. No registration or fees are required. The same applies to Bageshwar Dham Kathas — the Bageshwar Dham Katha is attended by lakhs of people daily, and the environment of such a type of Katha is full of devotion and blessings of the deity Lord Hanuman and Lord Rama.
Typical Katha duration: 3 to 5 days per event. Daily sessions run for several hours, typically mornings and/or evenings.
Venue size: An estimated two to three lakh devotees attended the Bageshwar Dham Katha daily, with around 15 lakh people visiting the venue at the largest Kathas.
Arrive early: For major Kathas in large cities, arrive at the pandal at least 90 minutes before the session begins for comfortable seating. For smaller town Kathas, 30–45 minutes is sufficient.
How to Watch Bageshwar Dham Katha Live Online
For devotees who cannot attend in person:

The Trap — Common Planning Mistakes
“Drove to Chhatarpur expecting daily Darbar — not available that day” → Cause: Divya Darbar is a monthly scheduled event, not held every day → Fix: Check the monthly Darbar date at bageshwardham.co.in before travelling. General darshan of the temple is available daily 6 AM–9 PM, but the Darbar with Shastri Ji has a specific schedule.
“Attended outstation Katha expecting Divya Darbar” → Cause: Outstation Kathas are religious discourses — Shastri Ji narrates Katha. The Divya Darbar (problem-solving session) happens only at the main Dham or at specifically announced Darbar events. → Fix: Both are valuable experiences but different in nature. Understand what you are attending before making travel plans.
“Paid someone for a Bageshwar Dham ‘VIP pass'” → Cause: Unauthorized agents claim to offer priority access → Fix: Entry to Kathas and general darshan is always free. No official VIP pass system exists. Do not pay any third party for Bageshwar Dham access.
“Could not find the venue for outstation Katha” → Cause: Exact venue within a city is sometimes announced only 1–2 weeks before the event → Fix: Follow the official social media channels and websites. For large Kathas, the venue is a major ground or exhibition centre that will be well-known locally by the time the event approaches.
Pro tip: For the monthly Dham Katha at Gadha village, the 4th of each month has been a consistent date. Check the schedule at bageswardham.com/bageshwar-dham-katha-schedule-2026 for the current month’s confirmed dates.

One Last Thing
Gadha is a small village in Chhatarpur district — one of Madhya Pradesh’s less affluent regions. The Swayambhu Hanuman Ji at this site has been worshipped for generations. Long before Dhirendra Krishna Shastri Ji became nationally known, people from nearby villages were walking to Gadha to place their arzi before the deity.
What has changed is scale and reach. The Kathas at Sydney Opera House and Canberra’s Parliament House would have been unimaginable to the fishermen of Visakhapatnam who prayed at Sampath Vinayaka, or the Marathas who came to Tulja Bhavani before war. And yet the essential act is the same — a human being, carrying a problem larger than themselves, placing it before something they cannot explain.
The schedule continues. The next Katha is already confirmed.
Check the dates. Attend if you can. Watch if you cannot.
Jai Bageshwar Balaji Maharaj. Jai Shri Ram.
Kindly send me schedule of hon’able Baba in July 2025.
