India is a place where celebrations never end. Welcome to "Waari"
Waari is the name of the pilgrimage undertaken by hundreds of thousands of people across the state of Maharashtra, India in the month of June-July. It is the celebration of faith in the teachings of Sant Dyaneshwar, Sant Tukaram, Namdeo, Muktabai who were notable warkaris. They strongly advocated jnana yukta bhakti (devotion guided by knowledge)
What we see here is the "palki" ( a carriage) carrying the God's idol and pilgrims in attendance and prayer.
