Zodiac River

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 
  1. ancestor worship, 
  2. spiritual discourses, 
  3. devotional music and 
  4. 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. 
the festival lasts as long as Jupiter remains in the corresponding zodiac sign (generally, for one year). However, it draws major crowds only during 
  1. The first twelve days are known as Adi Pushkaram, and 
  2. the last twelve days are called Anthya Pushkaram
