What Is Yamuna Pushkaralu?

Yamuna Pushkaralu is also known as Yamuna Pushkaram. It is a sacred Hindu festival that is celebrated for 12 whole days. It is marked by the special astrological alignment when Jupiter enters the zodiac sign Cancer. As per the ancient Hindu scriptures and Puranas, it's believed that the major rivers get spiritually energised during this special Jupiter transit. And devotees who bathe in the river during this auspicious Pushkaram period are believed to receive immense spiritual merit (Punya).

For River Yamuna, this period is considered extremely powerful as it's believed that Goddess Yamuna personally blesses the devotees who perform rituals on the river. Bathing in these sacred waters also frees the devotees from the fear of untimely death.

Spiritual Significance of Yamuna Pushkaralu Yatra

The Yamuna Pushkaralu Yatra holds deep religious significance. It's also of high karmic importance. It is also considered to bring spiritual cleansing as well as ancestral blessings.
