Abstract
People come to the Bhima river in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, to rejoice. They leave behind a drain Pandharpur, a pilgrim town on the banks of the Bhima river in Maharashtra, hosts four religious yatras every year. Over two million people take part in these yatras, which celebrate, among other things, four months (chatur maas) of Lord Vishnu's cosmic sleep. There is much fanfare associated with these yatras and during the celebrations people live in makeshift camps along the riverbank and sometimes on the road too.
