Pandharpur Wari is a religious procession that involves carrying the palkhi of Sant Tukaram Maharaj and Sant Dnyaneshwar from their respective temples to Pandharpur, located in the Pune district of Maharashtra. Pandharpur Wari 2022 is all set to begin on June 20, Monday, when Maharaj Tukaram’s palkhi will depart from Dehu. However, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj’s palkhi will set off to Pandharpur on June 21, Tuesday. We will look in detail about the Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi Marg and Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi Marg Yatra.
Devotees participate in the Ashadi Wari with full zeal and enthusiasm. The 21-day yatra is done on foot, with devotees singing and dancing all along the way to commemorate the saints blissfully. The Wari ends at the Vithoba temple on the auspicious day of Shayani Ekadashi, the 11th lunar day of the Shukla Paksha of Ashadha. While every year the pilgrims join the procession on foot, a virtual edition of the annual Wari has been launched this year to allow devotees to participate in the palkhi yatra from their respective homes.
