This year Bolava Vitthal concert will be presented in 7 cities namely Mumbai, Bangalore, Dharwad, Chennai, Nasik, Goa & Pune.

“Bolava Vitthal” was initiated with the objective of giving a rare opportunity to music lovers and devotees to listen to such maestros singing praise of Lord Vitthal. The classical finesse of abhangs insinuates a resplendent evening. ‘Ashadi Ekadashi’ is considered as one of the most auspicious days, thousands of devotees of Lord Vitthal known as “WARKARIS” walk in groups from their respective homes, singing the devotional songs/abhangs in praise and reach Pandharpur town on the propitious day of Ashadi Ekadashi to offer their prayers to Lord Vitthal.

From the 12th to 19th century, many great saints including Sant Dyaneshwar, Sant Tukaram, Sant Gora Kumbhar, and Sant Janabai penned many abhangs devoted to Lord Vitthal
