Saraswati Pushkaralu is a significant festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, music, and arts. Celebrated along the banks of sacred rivers, this festival is marked by various cultural activities that highlight India's rich heritage. Here are some key cultural events and traditions observed during Saraswati Pushkaralu.
It is mentioned in the Kaleshwara Kanda that residing in Kaleshwaram, learning about Kaleshwaram, remembering Kaleshwara, or visiting him will remove all sins and bring happiness and prosperity. In Kaleshwaram, Lord Kaleshwara Swamy (Yama) and Lord Mukteeswara Swamy (Shiva) have appeared on a single pedestal with two lingams. The lingam of Mukteeswara Swamy has two nostrils. No matter how much water is poured for the abhishekam, not a single drop overflows; instead, it flows underground and emerges as the Saraswati River, merging with the Godavari and Pranahita rivers at their confluence. This confluence of three rivers is known as Triveni Sangam, where Pushkaras are held every 12 years.
