This tradition emphasizes the importance of bhakti, or devotion, and encourages followers to engage in singing devotional songs called bhajans.

Warkaris often participate in annual pilgrimages known as wari, where they travel to the temple of Vithoba in Pandharpur. These journeys foster a sense of unity and devotion among participants. The Warkari Sampraday has played a significant role in shaping the cultural and spiritual landscape of Maharashtra.
