Rahli-Pandharpur Temple Trust priest Ajit Sapre said the temple is similar to Pandharpur in Solapur district of Maharashtra. Devotees from all over the country come here to see the Lord. Two years ago, Nitish Bhardwaj, who played the role of Krishna in the Mahabharata, had visited here to consecrate Lord Vitthal. Both Maharashtra and Rahli are the confluence of two rivers. In both places the rivers flow in a lunar form. That is why a city named Pandharpur was established here during the Maratha rule. The temple was built like Pandharpur in Maharashtra. Pandharpur in Rahli hosts a five-day fair twice a year on Guru Purnima and Kartik Purnima. On Kartik Purnima, the leela of Radha Krishna is staged here.
