Plan Your Visit
The most sacred day in Akkalkot, marking the day Swamiji took Mahasamadhi. Expect massive crowds, continuous bhajans, and special aartis. Booking accommodation months in advance is strictly advised.
A beautiful festival honoring the Guru. The town is decorated, and special Maha-Prasad is served to lakhs of devotees. The energy at the Guru Mandir and Vatvruksh is phenomenal.
Every Thursday, the sacred palanquin (Palkhi) of Swami Samarth is taken out in a grand procession with traditional music, chanting, and devotion. A must-see if you are visiting mid-week.
Celebrating the birth of Lord Dattatreya. Since Swami Samarth is revered as an incarnation of Lord Datta, this day holds immense significance with special homas (fire rituals) and reading of the Gurucharitra.
