In which of the following Indian states is Palkhi festival observed?
Maharashtra
The correct answer is Maharashtra.
The Palkhi procession is the most visible manifestation of this tradition, often taking place during the Hindu month of Ashadha (June-July), culminating on Ashadhi Ekadashi. The tradition emphasizes simple living, devotion (bhakti), and equality. Key figures include Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Tukaram, Sant Namdev, and Sant Eknath, whose philosophical and devotional poetry forms the core of Warkari spirituality. The journey is seen not just as a physical act but as a spiritual one, fostering community, discipline, and faith among the participants.
