One dead, several injured in tent collapse at Madhya Pradesh's Bageshwar Dham during storm
BHOPAL: A 50-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh allegedly died when a tent collapsed amid heavy rains and blustery winds at the famous Lord Hanuman shrine, Bageshwar Dham, in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh early on Thursday morning. The incident, which also left seven devotees injured, most of them from outside Madhya Pradesh, including Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, occurred during preparations for the Friday birthday celebrations of the shrine's Peethadhishwar and Hindu Rashtra-supporter, religious preacher Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, also known as 'Bageshwar Dham Sarkar'. 'The mishap happened on Thursday morning amid continuous heavy rains coupled with blustery winds, leading to the collapse of the tent. One devotee died in the mishap, possibly after suffering a head injury due to the caving in of one of the iron pillars which supported the tent. Some other devotees, mostly from outside MP, suffered injuries, but all are out of danger. An autopsy of the deceased man, who hails from UP, is being conducted,' Jain said.

Branded Jacket, Stylish Glasses: Bageshwar Baba Faces Heat Over Luxury Pics In Australia
Last Updated: Bageshwar Dham Baba is being heavily trolled online after photos surfaced of him wearing stylish sunglasses and a pricey-looking jacket aboard a plane and even enjoying a cruise Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, popularly known as Bageshwar Dham Baba, has once again found himself at the centre of a social media storm. This time, not for his spiritual discourses, but for his wardrobe, and his timing. While currently touring Australia for a religious Katha (religious sermon), the young seer from Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur is being heavily trolled online after photos surfaced of him wearing stylish sunglasses and a pricey-looking jacket aboard a plane and even enjoying a cruise. Netizens were quick to point out the apparent disconnect; these images went viral just days after the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad that claimed over 274 lives. Social media platforms were flooded with comments accusing the self-styled spiritual leader of insensitivity and flaunting a lifestyle far removed from his humble beginnings. Critics questioned how a man who once sat on a plastic chair drawing slips in a small tent now sports designer wear while globe-trotting. Some went further, insinuating a shift from saint to celebrity. Faced with mounting criticism, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri broke his silence with a sharp rebuttal during an event in Fiji. In a veiled warning to his detractors, he said, 'The person who posted that video should listen carefully; if you have a problem with my jacket and glasses, let me tell you, they weren't bought, they were gifted by devotees." He went on to justify accepting such offerings, stating that the Dakshina he receives during Katha programs is not for personal luxury but is spent on social welfare. 'We are building a cancer hospital, and we support poor girls with this money," he said, urging people not to spread 'worthless negativity". This is not the first time Bageshwar Baba has drawn attention for reasons beyond religion. His rise to fame, marked by large gatherings, miracle claims, and political endorsements, has been equally praised and questioned. First Published: June 17, 2025, 13:21 IST
