Kartiki Ekadashi celebrations at Pandharpur: Vitthala and Rukmini Mata temple offers 24-hour darshan

Thousands of devotees are gathering at Pandharpur’s Vitthala Rukmini Temple for Kartiki Ekadashi, where a special 24-hour darshan of Lord Vitthala is being held. The temple authorities ceremonially removed the deity’s bed, marking his symbolic awakening for the festival. Devotees can participate in the darshan for nearly 22 hours daily, with a 15-minute time limit per session.
