The temple administration managed long queues. A kirtan by Kirtan Kesari HBP Baliram Maharaj Aute was held between 11am and 1pm, drawing large crowds. However, thieves took advantage of the crowd to steal jewellery from women. The Freepress Journal reports that police have detained a female thief, but the full extent of thefts will be known only after complaints are filed. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Chhota Pandharpur, Kamika Ekadashi, police, theft, Vitthal-Rukmini Temple, Warkari tradition Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/thousands-throng-chhota-pandharpur-on-kamika-ekadashi/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
