It was a long desire for me to have darshan of Lord Pandu Ranga Vittal and aai rukhmini. I am blessed this time. It's a very ancient temple of Lord Vittal and Rukmini on bank of chandrabhaga river in pandharpur. It was really great time to be there in mandir sabha madap. At that time group of people chanting bhajana s it feels so spiritual and connected to supreme lord, that aura gives you positive Vibes There are two darshans. 1. Pada darshan.. Having darshan closely following in a queue(normally may take 3-4 hours on any day). 2. Doora darshan(from a distance of 15 meters.) . It's a quick darshan for us because we opted for mukhdarshana only. Shoes keeping facilities are available near entrence which is totally free of charge. If you are interested in pada darshana which is too close to the murti then it takes more than 4 hours standing in queue. As I don't have plan we accompanied with my little one so unable to wait for.. Mobile phones are not allowed in premises of mandir but u can take photos from the outside market area. Mobile locker is available to keep your phones safe. Per mobile 5/- charges One should go and take darshana of vithhala and rukhmini in life time for sure.jy hrii vitthtthl

The famous and most loved god of Maharashtra who is specially loved by the farmers of Maharashtra Lord Vitthal Temple. You will find old style houses,shops even the items in shops are very much old but feels nostalgic. Even it is the richest temple of Maharashtra still it needs good amount of development to be done.

the original temple is not seen, it is the new concrete facade that is there and takes away the glory of the past. was not very happy of the picture I had in my mind all my life of this temple.
