The entire area was immersed in a spiritual atmosphere as the palkhi procession began its journey.
Devotional Fervor and Pilgrim Gathering
The temple premises resonated with the sounds of traditional instruments, devotional songs, and chants. After the ceremonial worship of Sant Nivruttinath Maharaj’s palkhi, thousands of Warkaris bid farewell to the procession with chants of “Dnyanoba-Tukaram” and “Pundalik Varada Hari Vitthal.”
Arrangements and Administration
Special arrangements were made for the event, including cleanliness drives, drinking water facilities, health camps, and police security for crowd management. Accommodation and meals were also provided for the devotees.
Social and Spiritual Unity
The Sant Nivruttinath Palkhi procession is not just a religious event but also a symbol of social unity. People from various backgrounds and regions come together to participate, creating an atmosphere of devotion and harmony in Nashik and Trimbakeshwar.
Next Steps
After departing from Trimbakeshwar, the palkhi will proceed to its next destinations, with various villages along the route welcoming the procession with aarti, prayers, and community meals.
