Pandharpur Wari or Wari (Vari) is an annual pilgrimage (yatra) to Pandharpur - the seat of the Hindu god Vithoba in the Indian state of Maharashtra, in honour of the deity. palakhis (palanquin processions) carrying the paduka (foot prints) of various saints - most notably Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram - from the Varkari (Warkari, "one who performs the Wari") sect (which venerates Vithoba), are taken from their respective shrines to Pandharpur. The tradition is more than 700 to 800 years old.〔(Pandharpur Yatra – Ekadashi Pandharpur Wari 2015 )〕〔(Warkari wave sweeps Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad )〕〔(Pandharpur Palkhi Sohala 2015 )〕 Dnyaneshwar's palakhi leaves from Alandi, while Tukaram's begins at Dehu; both in Pune district of Maharashtra. This largest religious Padayatra ("pilgrimage by foot") consists of over 1 million pilgrims travelling for 21 days to the Vithoba temple, Pandharpur by foot. Numerous palakhis join the main palkhi that starts from the Dehu palakhi. The wari culminates at the Vithoba temple on Ashadhi Ekadashi.〔(Ashadi Ekadashi , Pandharpur )〕 Devotees from Maharashtra and nearby areas set out for Pandharpur, wearing holy basil beads and singing the glories of Vithoba and songs like "Gyanba Tukaram", commemorating the saints.〔(Elaborate arrangements for Sant Tukaram Maharaj palkhi procession )〕 Upon reaching Pandharpur on Ashadi Ekadashi, these devotees take a holy dip in the sacred Chadrabhaga River before proceeding to take Darshan (see) Vithoba's central icon in the main temple. ==History== There are various views on the origins of the Wari. According to one theory, Vitthalpant, the father of the Varkari saint Dnyaneshwar began the Wari to visit Pandharpur in the month of Ashadha and Kartik. The Wari is generally regarded to exist for more than 800 years. Another theory credits Dnyaneshwar and the saint Tukaram to have started the pilgrimage. They used to journey to Pandharpur by foot for fifteen days, reaching Pandharpur's Vithoba temple on Ashadhi Ekadashi.
