Ashadhi Ekadashi is a significant festival in Maharashtra, marking the culmination of the Pandharpur Wari pilgrimage, where devotees (Warkaris) walk to the holy town of Pandharpur to seek blessings from Lord Vitthal. 

The celebration at Chinmaya Shishu Vaatika was not just a festive occasion but a meaningful journey for the little ones. The young children, adorned in traditional Warkari attire, beautifully reflected the values of devotion, unity, and a spirit of togetherness. The vibrant melodies of abhangas (devotional songs) and the chanting of Lord Vitthal’s name transformed the surroundings into a sacred and spiritually uplifting space.

The event served as a gentle introduction to the spiritual path, with "tiny footsteps" symbolizing the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith and values.
