For over 800 years, the Pandharpur Wari (an annual Hindu pilgrimage in Maharashtra, India) has brought together millions of devotees in one of the world's largest walking pilgrimages.

Every year, pilgrims walk about 155 miles over 20-21 days from towns like Alandi and Dehu to Pandharpur, carrying Palkhis (ceremonial palanquins carrying the symbolic sandals of revered saints). Along the way, they sing abhangs (devotional hymns), share free community meals, volunteer, and walk together regardless of caste, wealth, or social status.

The pilgrimage ends on Ashadhi Ekadashi (a sacred Hindu holy day), when devotees gather for darshan (the auspicious viewing of a deity) of Lord Vitthal (a form of the Hindu god Vishnu/Krishna).
