The Maharashtra government has unveiled a robust support plan for the 2025 Ashadhi Wari pilgrimage, aimed at safeguarding and easing the journey for thousands of Warkaris heading to Pandharpur. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed authorities to expedite repairs on rain-damaged routes to ensure safe passage for devotees.
In a significant move, group insurance coverage will be provided to pilgrims, along with enhanced medical assistance and improved infrastructure at Palkhi halts. Waterproof tents, consistent water supply, and electricity connections will be arranged at rest stops. Continuing past traditions, toll concessions will also be offered to vehicles transporting Warkaris.
These efforts underscore the government’s commitment to honoring the spiritual and cultural significance of the Ashadhi Wari by providing a safer, more comfortable pilgrimage experience.
