Significance of Ashadhi Ekadashi

Ashadhi Ekadashi, also known as Devshayani Ekadashi, marks an important day in the Hindu calendar, especially in the states of Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka.

Devotees observe the day by fasting, chanting bhajans, and offering prayers to Lord Vitthal, a revered form of Lord Vishnu. The occasion also signals the beginning of Chaturmas—the four holy months of penance, devotion, and self-discipline.

Thousands of Warkaris, pilgrims devoted to Vitthal, complete the annual Pandharpur Wari, a sacred foot pilgrimage that concludes at the Vitthal Rukmini Temple in Pandharpur. The day reflects deep devotion, community spirit, and the pursuit of spiritual upliftment.
