Waari
An annual walk to Vithoba Temple in Pandharpur on foot.
Two separate masses of pilgrims, one from Dehu and one from Alandi starts the walk.
These two groups meet in Pune city and take a halt at Peth area.
I decided to click the festivity in the city.
I started early in the morning of June 19, Monday and reached Peth at 6 O'clock.
There were many stalls of free Food arranged by people of Pune to have breakfast.
The queues were long, so be ready to spend good amount of Time, if not Money.

Another free service offered to Pilgrims, just be ready to spend some quality time.
