Where he apologized by rubbing his nose, there Pradeep Mishra will narrate the story: A pandal (temporary structure) is ready for 50,000 people; the Radharani temple in Barsana has been reached after 27 months.

The Shiv Mahapuran Katha by narrator Pandit Pradeep Mishra will begin in Barsana, Mathura, on Monday. Prior to this, he visited the Radharani Temple on Sunday evening. There, he joined his hands and sought blessings from Radharani. Approximately 27 months ago, during a Katha session, Pradeep Mishra made a controversial statement regarding Radharani. He had stated that Radharani's name was not among Lord Krishna's 108 Pattanis (chiefs) or 1600 queens. This statement angered the saints.
