What is Antya Pushkaralu?

Godavari Antya Pushkaralu is observed during the final 12 days before Jupiter leaves Simha (Leo) for Kanya (Virgo). This tradition is why the current Godavari festival information spans 2027–2028.

Adi & Antya dates and details
Can I book a puja here?

Puja bookings and payments are not open. Verified services will be added after agreements with service partners are complete.

Can I bathe at every listed place?

This directory uses verified sources. A complete inventory of approved 2027 ghats across all states has not yet been verified here. A riverside destination is not confirmation of bathing permission; check local notices.

How are priest profiles added?

Profiles are published after consent and review of identity, training, experience, relevant ritual knowledge and applicable local authorization. A listing does not confer government accreditation or guarantee a booking.

Is this a government website?

An independent pilgrim information website. Not a government website.
