Heavy Rainfall Alert on Dive Ghat

Varkaris on the Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi route, please note this weather update today. Heavy rainfall is battering the Dive Ghat stretch right now. The descent towards Saswad is very slippery.

The Palkhi has its next mukkam (halt) at Saswad. Walk carefully. The steep gradients of the ghat are tricky. Local authorities are asking all Varkaris to stick together. Stay with your respective dindis. And please, avoid the absolute edges of the road.

Safety Precautions for Varkaris

• Use your walking sticks for better grip on the wet roads.
• Cover your belongings and dry clothes with waterproof plastic sheets.
• Follow the instructions of the traffic police and your Dindi Pramukhs.

Police have made minor diversions for regular traffic. This keeps pilgrims safe. Support vehicles attached to the dindis are crawling. Visibility is quite low out there. Walk safely, Mauli. Keep up the विठ्ठलनामाचा गजर.
