Pandharpur Yatra in Kartik Month begins on the first day of Marathi Kartik month and ends on the Purnima or full moon day in Kartik Mahina. The most important day during the period is the Prabodhini Ekadasi day.

Pandharpur Kartik Ekadasi Yatra and the famous Ashadi Ekadasi Wari Yatra are interconnected through the famous Chatur Maas – the cosmic sleep of Lord Vishnu. 

It is believed that after Ashadi Ekadasi Wari Yatra Lord Vitthal (Lord Vishnu) goes into his cosmic slumber and wakes up on Kartik Ekadasi day.

The Pandarpur Yatra is a pilgrimage to the Vithoba Temple, also known as Vitthal Rukmini Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Krishna in Pandharpur in Maharashtra.

There are four yatras in a year to the Vithoba Temple. The most famous is the one held in the Ashada month (June – July).
