Stop in Pune for a hot, reliable breakfast (idli/dosa/poha/tea). Vaishali (FC Road) and nearby eateries open early and are convenient for travelers heading southeast.
Tulja Bhavani is the family deity for many Maharashtrian families; darshan and circumambulation are the focus. Temple timings are typically early morning to late evening (commonly ~5:00am–9:00pm), so evening darshan and arti are a good option.
Visit the Samadhi and ashram of Shri Swami Samarth — a major center for devotees. Temple/ashram visiting hours are typically 5:00am–9:00pm; morning darshan and dhuni/prayers are recommended.
Visit the famous Datta temple (Guru Narasimha Saraswati samadhi) — evening arti attracts many devotees. Typical visiting hours are early morning to late evening (~5:00am–10:00pm).
Main pilgrimage objective: darshan of Lord Vithoba (Vitthal). Temple complex is open early (commonly ~4:00am–9:00pm); mornings are devotional and busy—allow extra time for queues and prasadam.
Begin the return drive to Kalyan (roughly 6.5–7.5 hours by car). Plan breaks for tea/dinner; expect to arrive late evening. Use NH160/NH48 or the fastest available route at time of travel.
