Due to the extension of date this year, the palanquin of Saint Tukaram Maharaj will have a stop at Indapur and also at Anthurne this year. After the last 2 years of Karona epidemic, the palanquin ceremonies of all the saints will leave for Pandharpur for Ashadi Wari this year.
This year is the 337th year of Sant Tukaram Maharaj Ashadi Wari Palkhi ceremony. Santosh (Maharaj) More, Manik (Maharaj) More and Vishal (Maharaj) More have been selected as the head of the Palkhi ceremony. The grand celebration of Ashadi Ekadashi is taking place on 10th July. For this, on 20th June, the senior Vadya Saptami, Tukobaraya’s Palkhi ceremony will depart from Inamdarwada, Dehu. There are 329 Dindas registered in this Palkhi ceremony. The number of free Dindis is more than 200, while the Palkhi ceremony of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj will depart from Alandi on 21st June. The Ashadi Yatra of Koronantar is being witnessed in Warakaris with enthusiasm. Therefore, considering the possible crowds, the administration has made changes in the planning.
This year’s Ashadi Wari is likely to be filled in large numbers and immediate action should be taken to provide necessary facilities to the Warkari and devotees coming for this ceremony on the palanquin route, on the palanquin lake, said Milind Shambharkar, District Collector, Solapur. Palkhi ceremony will arrive in Solapur on 4th and 5th July. Against this background, both the palanquin routes and various palanquin bases have been inspected by the District Collector himself.
