Pandharpur Vitthal Temple

Pandharpur is the home of Shri Vitthal, the form of Krishna who stands on a brick with his hands on his hips, waiting. For Maharashtra he is Vithu-mauli, and the devotees who walk here each year on the wari call him by that name. The temple stands on a high stone platform on the bank of the Chandrabhaga, entered by the Namdev gate and its twelve steps — the first step holds the statue of Sant Namdev, and pilgrims touch their forehead to it before they go in.

This is an independent companion app for pilgrims visiting Shri Vitthal Rukmini Mandir at Pandharpur. It brings the practical details of a visit — darshan timings, aartis, the Ekadashi yatra calendar, how to reach and where to stay — into one place, and adds today's panchang so you can plan the day around the right muhurat.
