Over the course of 20 days, pilgrims will travel on foot, united by devotion, before reaching the holy town of Pandharpur on Ashadhi Ekadashi, July 6, to seek blessings in an atmosphere of profound faith, joy, and cultural tradition

Pandharpur Wari is a centuries-old devotional pilgrimage where Warkaris (devotees) walk together for several days, singing abhangas and hymns in praise of Lord Vitthal

The procession is led by two main palkhis, Sant Tukaram Maharaj’s Palkhi from Dehu and Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj’s Palkhi from Alandi, creating an atmosphere of deep faith and spiritual celebration

The Wari stretches across nearly 20 days, covering a distance of over 250 kilometres

Along the way, the palkhis pause at different towns and villages, where devotees come together for community gatherings, spiritual discourses, and vibrant cultural programs
