When it comes to spiritual journeys near Pune, Prati Balaji Temple in Ketkawale
Pandharpur, located on the banks of the sacred Bhima River (also known as Chandrabhaga River), is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Maharashtra. The famous Vitthal Rukmini Temple attracts lakhs of devotees every year, especially during the Ashadhi Ekadashi Yatra and Kartik Ekadashi. If you are planning to visit this holy town, Kesarinandan Travels brings you a comfortable and affordable Pandharpur Tour Package from Pune, designed to give you both spiritual satisfaction and travel convenience.
Pandharpur is popularly called the Southern Kashi of India because of its spiritual importance. Lord Vitthal, a form of Lord Krishna, is the presiding deity here. The temple has a unique tradition where devotees touch the feet of Lord Vitthal directly, which is not common in many temples of India.
Highlights of Pandharpur include:
Vitthal Rukmini Mandir – The main temple dedicated to Lord Vitthal and Goddess Rukmini.
Chandrabhaga River Ghat – A holy riverfront where devotees take a sacred dip before darshan.
Pundalik Temple – Dedicated to Saint Pundalik, who is considered the greatest devotee of Lord Vitthal.
ISKCON Pandharpur Temple – A peaceful place for meditation and bhajans.
For devotees, a trip to Pandharpur is not just about darshan but also about experiencing the divine atmosphere, soulful bhajans, and the strong sense of faith that fills the town.
The distance from Pune to Pandharpur is around 210 km and takes approximately 4.5 to 5 hours by road. Kesarinandan Travels offers multiple routes depending on convenience, but the most preferred one is:
