SUMMARY:Wari 2025
DESCRIPTION:महाराष्ट्रात पालख्या निघाल्या पंढरपूरच्या वारीला\nटाळ मृदंगाच्या तालावर साद घालती माऊलीला | \nऊन\, वारा\, पाऊस झेलत वारकरी देहभान हरपला\nसोडून सारे संसाराचे पाश हरी नामात दंग जाहला | \nजगभर आहे किर्ती तयाची\, मी भक्तीचा भुकेला\nम्हणूनच इथे पायी चालण्याचा घाट आहे घातला | \nजमुयात सारे २०२५ च्या वारीत सामील व्हायला\nनमस्कार पोहचवुया पंढरीच्या विठू-माऊलीला !! \nWari Step Challenge\nपाऊले चालती सुदृढतेची वाट\nJune 24\, 2025 – July 6\, 2025\nBuilding on last year’s success\, we’re using the StepUp app to make step tracking even more engaging and fun. The app offers simple\, one-time setup and automatically logs your daily steps using your phone or connected device. \nHow to Join ?\n\nDownload the free StepUp mobile app on your android or iOS phone: https://thestepupapp.com/\nJoin one of the two groups:\n\nMKM Wari विठोबा (Men’s Group) \nMKM Wari रखुमाई (Women’s Group) \n\n\nTrackers: Track your progress and enjoy some friendly competition between the two teams!\nScoreboard: View the Live Scoreboard: Keep the Score – MKM Wari\nWhen installing the StepUp app\, you need to give it permissions to sync with your mobile device. If you do not use a fitness tracker (e.g.\, Apple Watch\, Fitbit\, Garmin\, Whoop\, Oura\, etc.)\, then remember to carry your phone with you when you walk\, so your native phone app (e.g.\, Apple Health) can measure your steps.\nOpen the StepUp app at least once every day or couple of days for it to sync your steps – it syncs steps only when you open the app\, it does not sync steps in the background.
