    Vitthal Rukmini Mandir is a famous temple dedicated to Lord Vitthal and his consort Rukmini located in Maharashtra, India. It is one of the prominent pilgrimage sites for devotees of Lord Vitthal, who is considered an incarnation of Lord Krishna. The temple is located in the town of Pandharpur, in the Solapur district of Maharashtra. Pandharpur is renowned for its association with the deity Vitthal, also known as Vithoba or Panduranga. The temple complex is considered one of the most important Vaishnavite temples in India and attracts millions of devotees every year, especially during the Ashadi Ekadashi festival. The Vitthal Rukmini Mandir has a rich history and dates back several centuries. The temple architecture reflects a mix of South Indian and Hemadpanthi styles. It is characterized by intricate carvings and sculptures, with the main deity of Lord Vitthal and Rukmini placed in the sanctum sanctorum. The idol of Vitthal is depicted as a standing figure with his hands resting on a brick, symbolizing his connection with his devotees. 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. If you are interested in pada darshana which is too close to the murti then it takes more than 4 hours standing in queue. The temple complex also includes various other shrines dedicated to different deities like Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, and Goddess Satyabhama. The courtyard of the temple is known as the "Chandrabhaga River" and is believed to be a sacred spot where Lord Vitthal and Rukmini used to bathe. Devotees from different parts of Maharashtra and other regions visit the Vitthal Rukmini Mandir to seek blessings, offer prayers, and participate in religious ceremonies. The temple premises are bustling with activity, especially during major festivals like Ashadi Ekadashi and Kartik Ekadashi, when the town of Pandharpur witnesses a large influx of pilgrims. Jay Hari Vitthal...

    Very famous old Temple of Lord Vitthala and Rukmini. Heavily crowded and it took around 4.5 hours for a few seconds of darshan. There is no special entry ticket or anything like that.

    Visited with family, took Pune-Sholapur highway and it was smooth ride ,not too much traffic. Lot of food options on the way. key points to note when in Pandharpur : 1. Parking near temple is available but at some distance. Better take auto if you don't want to walk long distance. 2. We didn't buy online tickets as it was showing error. We took charan darshan following the long queue but it was worth waiting in queue. Started at 5pm finished at 9pm. Total time taken was around 4 hrs. which may defer based on day and time. We were able to touch feet of lord which is very divine experience. 3. There are enough mobile lockers. Don't try to be smart because you will get caught as there are multiple security checks to ensure no one carries mobile. 4. Keep water and basic food with you while in queue as it takes long time. You can carry small bag inside, security didn't mind it. 5. Keep your sleepers and phone in car if going by car. 6. Don't fall into scams which are quite common at holy places now a days. But we didn't find too many people trying to trick us.. 7. Laddu prasadam is available outside temple which is run by temple itself. Cost is 20 rupees for bundi laddu prasadam. 8. Shops mostly accept only cash so carry some cash with you. You might not find many googlepay or upi options. 9. There are few restaurants, including gujrati and Rajasthani thali. Also there is open food court with large number of stalls serving all varieties of food. As its holy place, don't disrespect or criticize people or arrangement, be humble and take darshan with pure heart. 🙏

    It was a very pleasant temple. The statue of Lord Vittal was quite exquisite. We had a good experience when we touched the feet of the Lord. Upon witnessing and touching the feet of the Lord, my wife nearly broke down. We have never felt so appreciative; this is something that can only occur at this temple. Everyone must attend the temple.

    The Vithoba Temple, officially known as Shri Vitthal-Rukmini Mandir (Marathi: श्री विठ्ठल्-रूक्मिणि देऊळ), is a Hindu temple in Pandharpur, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is the main centre of worship for Vithoba, a form of the god Vishnu or Krishna, and his consort Rakhumai. It is Classified one among the 108 Abhimana Kshethram of Vaishnavate tradition. The temple was built by King Vishnuvardhana of Hoysala Empire between 1108–1152 CE upon being convinced by the historical figure Pundalik. Also, there is an inscription in the temple, of a Hoysala King Vira Someshwara dating back to 1237 CE, which grants the temple a village for its upkeep. It is the most visited temple in Maharashtra. The Warkaris start marching from their homes to the temple of Pandharpur in groups called Dindi (procession) to reach on Aashadhi Ekadashi and Kartiki Ekadashi. A dip in the holy river Chandrabhaga, on whose banks Pandharpur resides, is believed to have power to wash all sins. All the devotees are allowed to touch the feet of the idol of Vithoba. In May 2014, the temple became the first in India to invite women and people from backward classes as priests

    The temple was really pleasant. The Lord vittal statue was really beautiful. We touched the feet of the Lord vittal and it was a pleasant experience for us. My wife almost cried after seeing and touching the feet of the Lord. We never experienced this grateful feeling, this will happen only in this temple. Must visit temple for everyone.

    Vitthal Rukmini mandir at Pandharpur Maharashtra is a very divine place. There is 2 types of dharshan queues DHARAM DARSHAN and MUKH DARSHAN of bhagwan Vitthal. In dharam darshan you can go upto the vigrah (murti) and touch bhagwan Vitthal. For sure in normal days it takes at least 2 hours. There are many small temple inside mandir premises for darshan. Laddu Prasad stalls are outside temple. Behind temple is holy river Chandrabhaga and Dwarkadhish temple. Very peaceful calm and spiritual atmosphere in the temple.

    There is nothing better than getting a darshan of Sri Vittala( Panduranga) and Rukumini Mai, whenever you come from.... South or North India. A life time ambition for all. During the month of February and on a weekday, there was not much of rush. Very comfortable darshan. No pushing around. Get a darshan within 20 or 25 minutes. No epass is required here.

    Sorry to say that but vitthal mandir under Government supervision and its pathetic to say there is no welcoming or overwhelming stay or weather due to government responsibility. In India there is only one god and it's a VITTHAL RUKHMINI. There are so many temples in India like Sai baba, tirupati balaji, lalbagh cha raja all are under private trust that's why they are in good condition. I don't know how CM goes there every year and couldn't find out the condition of one of the earth's most important temple conditions not so well or the government not watching at all. मराठ्यांचा श्रद्धा स्थान म्हणजे विठ्ठल मंदिर...... Please request all peoples this corrupted government will not do anything to over overwhelming places that the VITTHAL MANDIR we have to do ourselves. All government MP MLA CM are corrupts, if they don't have time for there god what will you expect from them for you I would suggest just vote that person who is workikg in your society or in your gaali don't thik about modi all are currupt if they can manage to get Ajit pawar or udayanraje bhosale what you think they are.

    It is famous for the Lord Vitthala temple situated on the bank of Bhima river. Bhima river is also known as Chandrabhaga as it takes shape like crescent moon near the town.

    One of the most devotional temple.. my visit to temple was memorable. Almost 1+ km darshañ line from ghat...it took 2+ hours for Darshan but it worthy... you are allowed to touch the sri vittal ji foot and Rukmini mata foot if u r visit through this line.. We have another option to visit the temple with no line but u have to darshan from a distance. Even though it's a very long line but worth a visit and u can find lot of shops in between to purchase things to eat.

    Had divine trip but due to very heavy crowd could only have Mukh darshan of lord Vittal ji but had full darshan of mata Rukmini . Heard that there is no less crowd period and all around the year the crowd remains the same and minimum of 8-10 hours in queue is normal . Just to be in that land where Pandurangan and his koti bhakts walked on the dusty roads made me feel satisfied though I would have loved to have the pada darshan of the lord Krsna vittalji maharaj .

    Visited for first time in my lifetime. Had a great experience as it was not at all crowded and it took hardly 15-20mins for overall darshan at this pilgrimage site. The temple authorities have maintained it quite well and also sufficient parking facilities available around the temple. Phones are not allowed in the temple premises but they have a locker facility at each entrance of the temple.

    I recently visited the Pandharpur Vittal Rukhmini Temple, a place that radiates positive vibes. One of the must-do activities is the Nagar Pradikshana, a spiritual walk around the temple that brings a deep sense of serenity. During our visit, we chose to stay at Mukta Bai Muth, which provided a warm and homely atmosphere. Chandrabhaga River holds immense significance for Maharashtrians, as it is considered sacred. Many people take ritual baths in the river in the name of Lord Vittal. However, it's important to note that maintaining hygiene around the river is a concern. The responsibility for ensuring cleanliness primarily lies with the government and temple trust. Efforts should be made to improve the sanitation facilities to preserve the sanctity of this sacred place. Ram Krushna hari !

    An ancient temple.(more than 400 years old) of Lord Vitthal , another swaroop of Lord Krishna & Maa Rukmini. A Vitthal Rukmini Bhakt Niwas is also made for pilgrims who visit temple. One must visit this temple once in life time there is lots of positivity here.

    What a great holy place it is. Once you enter in Mandir and when you saw God Vitthal and Rukmini you will mesmarize this for ever.... If you go on weekend then charansparsh line can take upto 5 hrs where as mukhdarshan can be done in 15-30 min.... Don't forget to buy Kandi pedha from there....
