"The dindi on Friday is about 12 to 15 kilometres away from Wakri Ringan, steadily approaching its sacred destination — the Vitthal-Rukmini temple in Pandharpur," Santosh, a Warkari said

The third annual Param Pujya Sadhguru Narasham Maharaj Dindi, led by Lagu Anandi Yeuti, began its spiritual march to Pandharpur on June 13, starting from Bavalgaon in Nanded district. This year, the dindi (group) includes around 300 Warkaris (devotees), all walking together in deep devotion to Lord Vitthal, the beloved deity of Maharashtra.
Speaking about the journey to mid-day.com, Narsingh Maharaj Donglikar, a senior Warkari from the group, expressed his gratitude. “The journey so far has been very fulfilling. The weather has supported us well, not too hot, not too rainy. It has been pleasantly cloudy, and that’s made the entire Wari (pilgrimage) experience enjoyable,” he said.
Donglikar shared that the Warkaris will perform traditional rituals, which include a holy dip in the Chandrabhaga river, followed by Nagar Pradakshina, kirtans, bhajans, and the chanting of Haripath. The Warkari tradition will also be reflected in devotional group dances such as Fugdi, the observance of Danicharya (ritual alms), and other practices rooted in the Vaishnava philosophy.
