Saraswati Pushkaralu is an important Hindu festival, a time to worship the Saraswati River and the goddess of knowledge and arts.
This special event happens every 12 years when Guru Brihaspati (Jupiter) increases the holiness of the river, as mentioned in the Puranas. Taking a holy dip in the Saraswati River during this time is believed to wash away sins and grant salvation (Moksha) for the individual and their ancestors.
Saraswati Pushkaram 2026 will take place from May 15 to 26 in Mana village, near Badrinath, known as the "first village of India" near the Indo-Tibetan border, where the Saraswati River meets the Alaknanda River.
