The Pandokhar administration has announced a public challenge, offering a prize of ₹1.41 crore to anyone who can demonstrably predict the future through written pamphlets, as urged by the dham's head priest Guru Sharan Sharma.
Pandokhar dham, a religious site in Madhya Pradesh, became the focus of a unique contest after its chief priest, Guru Sharan Sharma, called for an open challenge to all self‑styled future‑tellers. The state government responded by announcing a cash prize of ₹1.41 crore for anyone who can reliably forecast events using written pamphlets.
The challenge is framed as a test of authenticity: participants must submit a pamphlet containing specific predictions, and the government will verify the outcomes over a predetermined period. No deadline or detailed verification procedure has been disclosed, but the prize amount underscores the seriousness of the offer.
Officials said the move aims to curb fraudulent practices that exploit believers, while also providing a transparent platform to assess claimed prophetic abilities. The announcement has drawn attention from both devotees and skeptics across the region.
If a claimant meets the stipulated criteria, the prize will be disbursed by the Pandokhar administration. Until then, the challenge remains open, inviting anyone confident in their predictive powers to step forward.
