Pandhrichi Vaari

One of the famous yatra or spiritual journey in the state of Maharashtra is the Pandharpur Wari, a Hindu pilgrimage walk conducted annually by a large group of devotees of Lord Vithoba, a Hindu deity worshipped predominantly by the people in Maharashtra .

Dehu – Pandharpur and other Alandi – Pandharpur. The whole procession is divided into sub groups called as Dindi. There are more than 200 Dindis on each route. Each Dindi has between 100 and 500 members. The people participating in this procession wear holy basil beads and sing the glories of Vithoba with songs like “Gyanba Tukaram”. The devotees carrying Palkhis complete the journey in 21 days culminating on the day of Ekadashi (eleventh lunar day) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June-July). On the holy occasion of Ekadashi, the devotees reach Pandharpur and take a dip in the sacred Chandrabhaga river before proceeding for darshan at the Vithoba temple to celebrate their most revered deity.
