Navi Mumbai, July 16: The Directorate of Cultural Affairs, Government of Maharashtra, will present Jyacha Tyacha Vitthal, a multimedia audio-visual programme celebrating the rich cultural and spiritual legacy of the Warkari tradition, at Adya Krantiveer Vasudev Balwant Phadke Natyagruha in Panvel on July 18 at 8.30 pm.

Celebrating Warkari Heritage

Organised to mark the Ashadhi Wari, the programme seeks to recreate the spiritual atmosphere of the annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur and the devotion associated with Lord Vitthal through a blend of saint literature, abhangs, devotional music, theatre, narration and visual storytelling.

Based on the concept of offering audiences an immersive experience of the Pandharpur pilgrimage and the sacred Chandrabhaga river, the production showcases the Warkari sect's enduring traditions and the timeless values of devotion, equality and humanity propagated by Maharashtra's revered saints.

The presentation draws inspiration from the literary and spiritual contributions of Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Tukaram, Sant Namdev and Sant Eknath, whose abhangs, bharuds and kirtans have shaped Maharashtra's devotional heritage for centuries.

Through music, theatre, narration and dramatic performances, the production will explore different dimensions of Vitthal devotion, the philosophical essence of the saints' abhangs and the spiritual ethos of the Warkari movement, offering audiences an immersive cultural experience.
