Exclusive| Ashadhi Ekadashi 2026: I'd love to experience the spirit of Pandharpur Wari, says Shriya Pilgaonkar

Actor Shriya Pilgaonkar discusses family rituals for Ashadhi Ekadashi, including an upvas (fast) with permitted foods like sabudana and rajgira.

The fast is intended to help slow down and focus on prayer and reflection, marking Lord Vishnu's Yoga Nidra and the start of Chaturmas.

Lakhs of Warkari pilgrims complete the Pandharpur Wari, an 800-year-old walking pilgrimage to the Vithoba Temple in Pandharpur, Solapur.

Shriya recalls watching the Pandharpur Wari on TV with her mother, actor Supriya Pilgaonkar, who explained its spiritual significance.

She expresses a desire to personally experience the Pandharpur Wari pilgrimage at least once.
