Pushkara for Rivers in Vedic Astrology
Pushkara is a special time during Jupiter's transit when it is said to consecrate a specific river and increase the spiritual merit of bathing in it.
There are 12 Pushkaras, one for each zodiac sign.
When Jupiter enters a specific sign, the Pushkara of a specific river is triggered.
The Pushkara duration is usually 12 days from the time Jupiter enters the sign.
Bathing in the corresponding river during its Pushkara is deemed extremely meritorious.
