Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): Former Chief Justice of India B. R. Gavai visited Bageshwar Dham on Monday.
He visited dham on Monday evening along with his wife Tejaswini Gavai and son Jyotiraditya Gavai.
During the visit, he offered prayers at the temple of Balaji and performed rituals with devotion.
After the darshan, the Gavai family met Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, also known as Bageshwar Sarkar. On the occasion, Shastri presented him with a sacred picture of Lord Balaji as a gift.
