My friend Jon will be giving a lecture in English at Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth (map here) on the Varkari pilgrimage to Pandharpur. He joined them for their more-than-two-week walk, and will be talking about Varkari religiosity and culture and showing lots of beautiful pictures.
Jon is an American scholar who has studied Maharashtrian language and culture for many, many years and will certainly give an engaging lecture!
