The religious practice of varkaris differ from others in the bhakti movement:

  • Varkaris idolized Vitthala or also known as Vithoba.
  • Here the Vithoba is a kind of lord Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu.
  • Varkaris travel in the form of groups, 'irrespective of caste' .
  • Thy singing bhajans and slogans, associated with Vitthal and Pandharpur.
  • They walk many kilometers to reach the holy town of Pandharpur every year, gathering there on Ekadashi of the Hindu lunar calendar in the month of Aashaadha.
  • Both are religious movement but share a prominent difference, the Bhakti Movement was not essentially religious, but more spiritual taking influence from areas like Sufism etc, but Varkari
  • Movement took inspiration from the Hindu religious texts.
