In the village of Yamagarni in Belagavi district, Karnataka a heartwarming celebration took place recently. Maharaj, a beloved black indie dog, returned home after going missing during a pilgrimage to Pandharpur in South Maharashtra. The villagers, overjoyed by his return, honored him with garlands and a feast.


Maharaj had accompanied his owner, Kamalesh Kumbhar, on his annual 'Wari padayatra' to Pandharpur, covering 250 kilometers on foot. While Kumbhar and his group were chanting bhajans at the Vithoba temple, Maharaj got separated and was assumed lost. Despite an extensive search, Kumbhar couldn’t find him and returned home, heartbroken.


Miraculously, the very next day, Maharaj appeared in front of Kumbhar’s house, wagging his tail happily. The dog looked healthy and well-fed, as if he had simply taken a stroll. Overcome with joy, Kumbhar and the villagers organized a feast to celebrate the dog's safe return.


For the villagers, Maharaj’s incredible journey was seen as nothing short of a miracle, and many believed it was divine intervention by Lord Panduranga that guided the loyal pet back home. The story of Maharaj's return highlights the extraordinary bond between humans and their pets, and it continues to bring smiles to everyone in Yamagarni.
