Thousands Gather at Wadala's Prati Pandharpur for Ashadhi Ekadashi

On Ashadhi Ekadashi, thousands of devotees gathered at the Prati Pandharpur temple in Wadala, Mumbai.

This event marks the end of the annual Wari pilgrimage to Pandharpur.

The temple, over 400 years old, is a significant place for those who cannot travel to Pandharpur.

Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde visited the temple and prayed for good rains.

Devotees queued from midnight to see Lord Vitthal and Rakhumai.

The pilgrimage involves walking for eight days, with groups carrying saffron flags and playing devotional songs.

The Ringan ceremony is a highlight, where a riderless horse gallops through the crowd.

The event is both spiritually significant and a cultural tradition, involving community sharing and devotional practices.
