Myself along with my parents planned for a Holy Trip to Shirdi via Sairam Subha Yatra package. While reading the book 'Women who lived in God - series 3' written by my Guru Ajayapranaji Mathaji, got to read about the life instances of Chakkubai, and was inspired & desired to visit Vittal temple at Pandharpur. Hence asked the trip organizer to include Pandharpur to the trip.
10th Sep'17:
On this day early morning, started from Chennai around 5 A.M, reached Pune airport around 8.30 A.M, had breakfast and started to Pandharpur via Car. The first temple we got to temple was Shree Pundalik temple.
Pandharpur - Sri Pundalik temple (Temple 261)
Address: Sri Pundalik temple, Pandharpur, Maharashtra - 413304
Shree Pundalik temple is located on the banks of the river Chandrabagha devoted to Lord Vitthal who is a manifestation of Lord Vishnu. Pundarik or Pundalik is credited to have bought Lord Vithoba to Pandharpur.
The main shrine of Pundalik temple is a five -storey building with a pyramidical gun spire, where the statue of Jaya and Vijaya flanks Lord Vitthal. The temple has got an attractive artificial peak. Offered our pranams to the deities and then visited Sri Vittal Rukmini temple.
Pandharpur - Sri Vittal Rukmini temple (Temple 262)
Address: Sri Pundalik temple, Chouphala, Pandharpur, Maharashtra - 413304
Sri Vittal Rukmini temple is the most visited temple in Maharashtra. The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Vithoba who is believed to be the local incarnation of Lord Krishna.
The Black Idol of Lord Vithoba & Rukmini is the primary attraction of the temple. Each & Every devotee is allowed to touch the feet of Lord Vithoba. We stood in queue for around 2 hrs and touched the feet of Lord Vithoba and offered our humble prayers to him. There are separate shrines available inside the temple for Lord Vithoba and Rukmini. Legend 'Chakku Bhai' has a great connection with this temple. Had blissful time at the temple and then started to Shirdi.
Most Blissful day at Pandharpur !!
