Pushkaram is an Indian festival dedicated to worshiping of
rivers. It is celebrated at shrines along the banks of 12 major sacred rivers
in India, in the form of ancestor
worship, spiritual discourses, devotional music and cultural programmes.
The celebration happens annually, once in 12 years along each river. Each river
is associated with a zodiac sign, and the river for each year's festival is
based on which sign Jupiter is in at the time. Due to regional variations, some
of the zodiac signs are associated with multiple rivers.
