The Story of Pandurangar Rukkumayi Set

• Pandurangar is one of the most beloved forms of Lord Krishna worshipped in Maharashtra, with Pandharpur regarded as his principal sacred centre.
• The tradition of Pandharpur is closely associated with the story of Pundalik, a devotee remembered for his dedication to serving his parents.
• According to traditional accounts, Lord Krishna came to meet Pundalik while he was engaged in serving them.
• Pundalik continued his service and respectfully requested the Lord to wait on a brick.
• Krishna stood upon the brick and waited for Pundalik, giving rise to the distinctive standing form of Vitthala.
• This traditional story highlights the importance of sincere devotion, duty, humility, and service to parents.
• Pandurangar’s worship gradually became an important part of the Bhakti traditions of Maharashtra.
