Sarasvati Pushkaram is a festival of River Sarasvati that normally occurs once every 12 years. Saraswati River is considered as the "Antarvahini" (invisible river) which flows at Triveni Sangam. This Pushkaram is observed for a period of 12 days from the time of entry of Jupiter into Mithuna rasi (Gemini).[1]
