“Pandurangji” is a respectful and affectionate way of referring to Panduranga, another name for Lord Vithoba (or Vitthal), a form of Lord Krishna worshipped mainly in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The suffix ”-ji” is often used in Hindi and Marathi as a mark of respect.
Lord Panduranga is the presiding deity of Pandharpur, a major pilgrimage site in Maharashtra, and is deeply revered by the Varkari tradition. Devotees often chant his name in bhajans and kirtans, expressing devotion and seeking his blessings.
