The Ashadhi wari is the walk of Varkaris from Dehu and Alandi to Pandharpur, about 250 km, timed to reach Vitthal's town for Ashadhi Ekadashi. In 2027 the two main palkhis leave on consecutive days in the last week of June.

Wari 2027 dates

Date	Day	Event
26 June	Saturday	Sant Tukaram Maharaj palkhi prasthan, Dehu संत तुकाराम महाराज पालखी प्रस्थान देहू
27 June	Sunday	Sant Dnyaneshwar Mauli palkhi prasthan, Alandi संत ज्ञानेश्वर माऊली पालखी प्रस्थान आळंदी
13 July	Tuesday	Vitthal Navratri begins श्री विठ्ठल नवरात्रारंभ
14 July	Wednesday	Devshayani (Ashadhi) Ekadashi, Pandharpur yatra देवशयनी आषाढी एकादशी
18 July	Sunday	Guru Pournima, Vitthal Navratri ends गुरुपौर्णिमा

The palkhis usually rest in Pune for two days after leaving Dehu and Alandi, then split: Dnyaneshwar Maharaj's palkhi goes over Dive Ghat by Saswad, and Tukaram Maharaj's takes the Loni Kalbhor and Indapur road. The ringan ceremonies, where a horse runs a circle through the seated dindis, are the moments most people try to see. The day-by-day halt schedule is announced by the palkhi sansthans in spring, so check their notice for exact stops.

The other Pandharpur wari dates

Ashadhi is the largest, but Pandharpur fills up on three other Ekadashis as well:

Wari	Date
Maghi wari (Jaya Ekadashi)	Wednesday, 17 February
Chaitri wari (Kamada Ekadashi)	Saturday, 17 April
Kartiki wari (Prabodhini Ekadashi)	Wednesday, 10 November

Two more Alandi dates follow Kartiki. The Alandi yatra is on 24 November, Kartik Krishna Ekadashi, and Sant Dnyaneshwar's sanjeevan samadhi sohala is on 26 November.

The calendar also notes Sant Tukaram's birthday at Dehu on 11 February, the Vitthal-Rukmini vivah sohala at Pandharpur on the same day, and Tukaram Beej on 24 March.
