" बोला पुंडलीक वरदे हारी विठ्ठल ..........."

"ज्ञानेश्वर माउली ज्ञानराज माउली तुकाराम ......"

"निवृत्ती, नामदेव, सोपान, मुक्ताई.... एकनाथ, ज्ञानदेव, तुकाराम .... "

Palkhi….. 1000-year old tradition, a festival that showcases the distinctive feature of Maharashtrian culture. It is religiously followed by वारकरी  – people / pilgrims who follow wari…

People collectively in a group called dindis go chanting, singing, dancing and lost n engrossed in their own world and travel to the holy land of Vitthal. 22 days …. N they are continuously walking only with one aim... to meet the Vitthala-Rakhumai at Pandharpur along with पादुका   of dnyaneshwar-Tukaram.

They are simple down-to earth people with least expectations….. One can feel that sense of spirituality just while watching them proceed…. They are continuously walking, with no complaints, just with one goal in their mind.

Really Hatz-off of these Lakhs of वारकरी…. Their attitude… the way they proceed … and try to meet their dreams….their calm & composed behavior….one can feel that positivity … proud to be a part of this land ……….
