Driving to Pandharapur #Maharashtra to scratch a 30yr+ itch. But first a stop at Nira Narasinghapur.

Eager for #Pandharapur visit but anxious the first stop might play spoilsport, and Pandharapur itself might be a letdown. 🤞

As I feared, the first stop ☝️ did not leave enough time for a proper viewing of Vitthala (the resident deity) in #Pandharpur. But the experience at the temple store was fantastic thanks to the clerks and the selection of dhotis and sarees on offer.

Bottom line, I need to return but also find someone local who can ease the logistics.
