Rajahmundry Municipal Corporation commissioner S. Ravindra Babu said the name for the Godavari Pushkaralu would not pose a problem.

"If any official authority chooses a name, we will accept it. Some unofficial sources are saying it's 144 years. But we don't have any authenticated record to say it's 144 years. I don't think that nomenclature will be a big issue," he said.

Some of the swamis say that it will be a Kumbh Mela as the pushkaram is coming after 144 years (the 12th instance, each occurring after a gap of 12 years) to Godavari.

Millions, including holy men, are expected to take part and the occasion can be celebrated in Telangana too along the Godavari stretch, right from its origin Nasik to its end, in Antarvedi, like in 2003.

However, others argue that it can't be called a Kumbh Mela as it can be used only for North India and say that it is a Maha Pushkaralu.
