Pandharpur Wari or Wari is a yatra to Pandharpur, Maharashtra, to honor Vithoba. It involves carrying the paduka of a saint in a palkhi, most notably of Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram, from their respective shrines to Pandharpur. Many pilgrims join this procession on foot. Warkari is a Marathi term which means "one who performs the wari". The tradition is more than 700 to 800 years old.
Each year during the monsoon season, devotees of the Hindu Varkari sect take to the streets of the cities and towns of Maharashtra, to go on a massive annual pilgrimage lasting twenty-one days. The procession of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims is not only seen but heard, as the songs written by the singer-saints of the tradition occupy nearly every moment of the journey.
Over these years, vari has become a symbol for unchanging ideologies, traditions and rituals, thereby creating a broad cultural resonance that can sustain multiple ideas simultaneously.
