Walavekarwadi observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Maharashtra.
The principal temple recorded for Panhala mandal is Bhoodsidhanath Temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Walavekarwadi itself.
Kolhapur's Mahalaxmi, called Ambabai here, is counted among the Shakti Peethas, and Navaratri is the temple's fullest season. The same shrine is known for Kirnotsav, when the setting sun's rays fall directly along the sanctum onto the idol on a few fixed days of the year.
By population, Walavekarwadi ranks #90 of 124 villages in Panhala mandal.
