Krishna Pushkaram is a sacred river festival celebrated once every 12 years on the banks of the Krishna River in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. The festival begins when Jupiter enters the zodiac sign Virgo (Kanya Rasi) and attracts millions of devotees from across India. Pilgrims take a holy dip in the Krishna River, believing it cleanses sins and brings spiritual blessings. Major ghats in Vijayawada, especially near Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Varla Devasthanam, witness grand religious ceremonies, cultural programs, and special arrangements for devotees. Krishna Pushkaram is one of the largest and most significant spiritual events in Andhra Pradesh, celebrating faith, devotion, and the sanctity of the Krishna River.
