Central Railway Announces 54 Special Trains for Ashadhi Wari 2026

Central Railway just announced 54 special train trips for the 2026 Ashadhi Wari. Officials expect a massive passenger rush ahead of Ashadhi Ekadashi. They are preparing now. Trains will run from major cities across Maharashtra. Every वारकरी heading to Pandharpur for the विठ्ठलनामाचा गजर can travel much easier.

Trains are scheduled across multiple routes. They directly connect Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and other key stations to Pandharpur. This is a safe alternative. For those not walking with the Dindis to see माऊली, taking the train is very convenient.
