History of Pandharpur vari
long ans pls​

Answer 1

Waari is the term used to refer holy pilgrimage in Maharashtra and the word is synonymous with Pandharpur Yatra to the famous Lord Vitthal Temple. Waari is undertaken annually by Varkaris in the Maharashtrian month of Ashadha and it culminates on the Ekadashi during the waxing phase of moon in the month. It is a three week long pilgrimage from Dehu and Alandi near Pune to Pandharpur, which is around 450 km away. But who were the first warkaris and when did the Pandharpur Wari Tradition begin.

Some believe it was the parents of Sant Dnyaneshwar who undertook the first pilgrimage in the 13th century. Sant Dnyaneshwar too did the pilgrimage and it became a tradition.

Saint Dnyaneshwar during his pilgrimage came into contact with common man and through his traditional spiritual songs sang the glory of Lord Vitthal, an incarnation of Krishna. He broke the Brahmanical shackles and monopoly over Hindu scriptures and translated especially the Gita into the language of the common man and popularized it.
