The Gol Ringan is among the most revered rituals of the Warkari Sampradaya. During the ceremony, the sacred Ashwa (horse) of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj runs around a circular track formed by thousands of devotees. Warkaris believe the horse carries the divine presence and blessings of the saint, making the ritual a deeply spiritual experience.
The atmosphere comes alive with the continuous chanting of “Vitthal Vitthal Jai Hari Vitthal”, accompanied by devotional bhajans, cymbals, and traditional instruments, creating an unforgettable display of faith and devotion.
