Along the way you also have Sai Baba darshan at Shirdi, Shanishwar darshan at Shani Shingnapur and time at the rock-cut caves of Ellora and Ajanta.
The second half of the week turns to the great temples of Tuljapur, Pandharpur and Kolhapur, for darshan of Sri Amba Bhavani, Sri Vitthala and Sri Mahalakshmi, where the yatra ends.
