About Pandharpur Wari Portal

What is this portal?

Pandharpur Wari Portal is an independent, community-run guide to the Ashadhi Wari — the annual foot pilgrimage in which lakhs of Warkari devotees walk behind the palkhis of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj and Sant Tukaram Maharaj to reach Pandharpur by Ashadhi Ekadashi.

This portal is not affiliated with the Shri Vitthal Rukmini Mandir Samiti, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), or any government body. It is an independent, volunteer-run initiative created to make halt-by-halt schedules, bus information, safety guidance, and Wari news freely accessible to all pilgrims — in both English and Marathi.

What we provide

• Halt schedule — day-by-day mukkam (overnight halt) data for both the Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi (from Alandi) and the Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi (from Dehu), sourced from official Palkhi Committee and government announcements each year.
• Bus information — MSRTC special bus routes, village-based bus schemes, and booking guidance for the Ashadhi Wari season.
• Darshan timings — official Vitthal darshan schedules for the Ashadhi Ekadashi period.
• Ringan Sohala dates — Nira Snan, standing Ringan at Chandobacha Limb, circular Ringan at Purandawade, and the final Ringan near Wakhari.
• Pilgrim guides — what to carry, how to reach Pandharpur, safety tips, weather guidance, a first-timer's guide, and a full glossary of Warkari terminology.
• News — real-time updates on special buses, route changes, weather alerts, safety notices, and official announcements during the Wari season.
• Emergency contacts — verified helpline numbers for police, ambulance, women's helpline, and disaster management.

Data accuracy

All schedule, date, and contact data on this portal is sourced from official government press releases, MSRTC announcements, and Palkhi Committee communications. Where a number or date cannot be independently verified, we explicitly mark it as requiring verification rather than publishing an estimate. Dates marked as “estimated” are community best-guesses based on historical patterns — treat them as provisional until confirmed by official sources.

Emergency contact numbers are verified against official Maharashtra government sources. One row (Pandharpur local police/temple helpdesk) is currently marked as pending verification — we do not publish an unverified number rather than risk giving pilgrims a wrong or disconnected number in an emergency.

Disclaimer

All content on this portal is provided in good faith for informational purposes only. Conditions on the ground during the Wari can change rapidly. Always verify critical information — particularly bus schedules, halt dates, and emergency numbers — against official MSRTC, Palkhi Committee, or Maharashtra government sources before departing. The portal and its contributors accept no liability for decisions made based on information published here.
