Pushkaram, also known as Pushkaralu, is a celebration of the 12-day Hindu festival which comes once every 12 years for each river. This event has been engraved in our culture since ancient times and is dedicated to the worship of the sacred rivers flowing through the holy land of India.<\/p>\n
This jubilant spiritual celebration includes the 12 major rivers and lasts until Jupiter (Bhraspati) remains in the position of the zodiac sign of the rivers. Each river is associated with a zodiac sign, and as regional exceptions, there are multiple rivers connected to a single sign as well.<\/p>\n
