Arrow How to print a value in the variable using awk ?

Hi All,

I have a part of a script below:

var1="value1"
awk 'BEGIN {printf("%36s \n ","value1")}'

Instead of directly giving the "value1" , I need to give using "var1" in the above awk statement.

Is this possible?
If so, what is the modified awk command?

Thanks in advance
JS
