About Pandharpur Yatra

Pandharpur Yatra is a deeply spiritual pilgrimage centered around the revered Vitthal Rukmini Temple, a major shrine dedicated to Lord Vitthal (a form of Krishna/Vishnu) in Maharashtra. Situated on the banks of the Chandrabhaga River, Pandharpur is famously called the "Southern Kashi of India" and is the spiritual capital for Varkari devotees. The temple is a symbol of devotion, equality, and simplicity, attracting millions during the Ashadi Ekadashi and Kartiki Ekadashi yatras.

This journey also includes visits to other important spiritual towns such as Akkalkot (home of Swami Samarth), Tuljapur (Tulja Bhavani Temple), and Solapur. The blend of bhakti, temple rituals, local traditions, and historical relevance makes this yatra a soul-stirring experience for any devotee of Lord Vitthal and spiritual seekers.
