Warkari (meaning 'the one who performs the Wari') is a sampradaya (religious movement) within the bhakti spiritual tradition of Vaishnavite Hinduism, geographically associated with Maharashtra. The Warkari movement includes the worship of Vithoba and a duty-based approach towards life, emphasising moral behaviour and strict avoidance of alcohol and tobacco, the adoption of a strict lacto-vegetarian diet devoid of garlic and onion, fasting on Ekadashi (twice a month), self-restraint during student life, equality and humanity for all, rejecting discrimination based on the caste system or wealth, the reading of Hindu texts, the recitation of the Haripath every day, and the regular practice of bhajan and kirtan.
