The Ganga Pushkaralu Festival is a grand celebration that takes place in India once every 12 years, primarily in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This year, the festival will be held from April 22 to May 3. Indian Railways has announced that it will operate special trains between Varanasi and Visakhapatnam for the festival, and the service will also be extended for the summer season.
Special trains will depart from Visakhapatnam to Varanasi on April 19 and 26 for the festival, with the return journey scheduled for April 20 and 27. The train services will continue in May and June for the summer season.
Varanasi is preparing to welcome devotees, who mainly come from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, for the 12-day festival. During the festival, people gather at the banks of the Ganga river in Varanasi and Haridwar to take a dip and cleanse themselves of sins, as well as to offer prayers, listen to devotional music, and participate in cultural activities.
According to legend, a devotee named Pushkara was granted the power to purify holy rivers by the Hindu deity Shiva and decided to take a dip in 12 sacred rivers, including the Ganga, Narmada, Saraswati, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, Bhima, Tapti, Tungabhadra, Sindhu, and Pranhita. Ganga Pushkaralu is a highly auspicious time for performing rituals and ceremonies related to ancestors.
