Villagers in Yamagarni, Belagavi district, celebrated the miraculous return of Maharaj, an elderly black indie dog, who had gone missing on a pilgrimage to Pandharpur. Traveling nearly 250 km on his own, Maharaj reappeared healthy and well-fed, leading owner Kamalesh Kumbhar and the locals to attribute his safe return to divine intervention.
