On Radhashtami, Kubereswar Dham in Sehore hosted a grand ceremony where gem‑adorned idols of Radha‑Krishna were offered 56 bhogs before a silver‑kalash mahabhshek, drawing large numbers of worshippers.
Sehore’s Kubereswar Dham became the focal point of devotion on Radhashtami, as thousands gathered to witness a meticulously planned ritual. The temple’s main sanctum displayed the deities Radha and Krishna dressed in intricate gem‑studied jewellery, reflecting the festive spirit of the occasion.
The priests performed a sequence of 56 bhogs, each offering presented to the idols in a traditional order. As the final offering concluded, the chant of “Radha” resonated through the hall, marking the culmination of the devotional offerings.
