Public Health and Wari

edit

A section on the public health issue of so many people participating for the wari and public health issues affecting both the pilgrims on their route and the villages on the route would be a good. Jonathansammy (talk) 16:04, 27 June 2016 (UTC) I personally think that if Dindi March is added, the paragraph will be unnesassarily too big. Instead add it in a new section. But a short information would be okay — Preceding unsigned comment added by KhanhCN Defender1st Minh (talkcontribs) 15:07, 7 July 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.36.56.42 (talk) Reply

Proposed merge of Dindi festival into Pandharpur Wari

edit

Dindi is primarily synonymous with the Pandharpur Wari; the Goa dindi is just a recreation of the Wari. Similar dindis are also held in Mumbai to Vithoba temples in Dadar/ Worli. Redtigerxyz Talk 19:09, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Klbrain,The merger was not necessary.The Dindi festival of Goa is not associated with the Pandharpur wari. Unlike Pandharpur wari, this is purely a local festival with a procession that never leaves Goa, and also held in November rather than June-July. Comments please.Jonathansammy (talk) 22:29, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Merges are rarely necessary, but often helpful. No objections to a proposal over the course of a year ... however, very happy for those in the know to propose a split if readers are best served by separate coverage. Klbrain (talk) 07:54, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
User talk:Klbrain,Redtigerxyz, Having the November Goa Dindi festival, in the Ashadh (June July) Pandharpur wari article can confuse readers. Both processions are held in honor of Vithoba, but the Goa festival is relaively new. Perhaps, the Goan festival can be covered in an article called dindi festivals that can also include the one held in Mumbai.L et us keep this article for only those palkhi processions that start at different places but end in Pandharpur on the day of Ashadhi Ekadashi (in July).

The Pandharpur Wari is carried four times - once in Ashadha (June/July) (the popular one), but also in Kartik (November) (second popular), Chaitra and Magha. Official Pandharpur Vithoba temple site We should cover all four in this article. Redtigerxyz Talk 17:07, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Redtigerxyz OK, so they hold yatra four times a year but you get paduka of Sants making the journey only once a year during Jeshtha -Ashaadh. The others are minor occasions, turnout probably not bigger than what they get on monthly shukla ekadashi. We can have a small section to cover this information but this still does not answer the question of why the Goa festival should be under Pandharpur wari.
