In the sacred rhythm of Ashadh, when chants of ‘Vitthal Vitthal’ echo across the land and the air reverberates with the sound of cymbals and abhangas, Maharashtra finds itself immersed in the divine tradition of the Wari — an 800-year-old pilgrimage that transcends time, faith, and generations. Honouring this profound legacy, Zee 24 TAAS proudly presents ‘Anandwari’, a powerful and soul-stirring programming initiative that goes beyond reportage to become a heartfelt celebration of devotion, culture, and the indomitable spirit of over 10 lakh Warkaris. The special show airs every evening at 6:30 PM (original telecast) and is repeated the following morning at 6:30 AM, ensuring that audiences across Maharashtra can stay connected to the spiritual energy of the Wari — no matter where they are.
Building on this spiritual journey, Zee 24 TAAS will mark Ashadhi Ekadashi with a special programming lineup that begins at 2:00 a.m. and continues till 6:00 a.m. Viewers will be treated to a serene musical atmosphere filled with soulful bhajans and traditional abhangs, reflecting the devotion of the Warkaris. The coverage will culminate in a powerful and contemporary tribute — a special performance by the Abhang Band, known for presenting age-old verses in a vibrant rock format. Adding to the sanctity of the occasion, the Chief Minister will also perform the auspicious pooja, making this telecast a deeply resonant experience for audiences across Maharashtra.
Adding a special dimension to this year’s coverage is acclaimed Marathi actor Sandeep Pathak, who joins Anandwari as a cultural storyteller and voice of the people. Known for his deep roots in Maharashtrian culture and powerful portrayals of real-life characters, Sandeep brings rare authenticity to the narrative. His interactions with Warkaris and heartfelt reflections offer viewers an emotionally rich and immersive perspective of the Wari.
Speaking about this year’s initiative, Mr. Kamlesh Sutar, Editor of Zee 24 TAAS, said, “Anandwari is our effort to present one of Maharashtra’s most cherished traditions with the depth, respect, and consistency it deserves. The Wari is not just a religious event — it is a reflection of collective faith, endurance, and cultural identity. Through our daily coverage and special segments, we aim to offer viewers a complete and immersive perspective of this spiritual journey. Zee 24 TAAS is committed to showcasing stories that connect with people at an emotional level while upholding the values of credible and responsible journalism.”
Zee 24 TAAS has positioned dedicated teams along key Wari routes to deliver real-time updates, pilgrim interviews, spiritual insights, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of this profound journey. More than just coverage, Anandwari serves as a cultural bridge — reminding viewers to pause, reflect, and stay rooted in tradition. It elevates regional journalism from reporting to preserving heritage, reaffirming Zee 24 TAAS’s role as a storyteller deeply connected to Maharashtra’s cultural soul.
