Ashadhi Wari: Maharashtra’s Soulful Spiritual Journey
The Ashadhi Wari pilgrimage is not just a religious event but a living tradition that binds communities through bhakti (devotion) and cultural unity. Spanning several districts, the journey is filled with bhajans, dindis, and rituals like Gol Ringan, as devotees chant “Vitthal Vitthal” and create a moving temple of faith across Maharashtra.
This year’s Ashadhi Ekadashi falls on July 6, 2025, when lakhs of pilgrims will take a holy dip in the Chandrabhaga River and seek blessings at the Vitthal Rukmini Temple in Pandharpur.
For pilgrims and spiritual tourists alike, Ashadhi Wari 2025 promises to be a profound journey of devotion, unity, and timeless tradition.
