Live Weather Forecast and Route Update for Pune-Pandharpur Varkaris

Rain is coming. Varkaris on the Pune-Pandharpur route need to brace for a wet 24 hours. The regional meteorological department has predicted moderate to heavy showers right along the main palkhi tracks. The worst stretches are between Saswad, Jejuri, and Baramati.

Today, the Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi reached Baramati. Tonight's mukkam is at the Sharda Vidya Mandir grounds. It is muddy out there. Rain turned parts of the designated resting areas into slush. Local authorities stepped in fast. They have arranged waterproof tents and elevated wooden planks for sleeping.

Right now, the Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi is moving from Lonand towards Taradgaon. Watch your step near the Nira river bridge. The road is incredibly slippery. Police placed barricades on the road shoulders to prevent accidents. Vehicles accompanying the Dindi are moving slowly. This means a slight delay in the expected arrival time at the Taradgaon mukkam.

Keep your belongings wrapped in plastic. Medical camps at Jejuri and Lonand have stocked additional medicines for cold and waterborne diseases. Taking an ST bus from Swargate to join the Wari? Expect a slow journey. Waterlogging near the Hadapsar bypass is causing delays of up to two hours.

Follow the instructions of the traffic police and Dindi pramukhs. Drink only boiled or filtered water from the official supply points.
