Tungabhadra Pushkara is a rare and highly significant spiritual festival observed once every twelve years along the banks and canal networks associated with the Tungabhadra River. During this sacred period, devotees believe that taking a holy dip and performing rituals brings spiritual purification and blessings for future generations.

Pilgrims gather to conduct ancestral rites, special poojas, and religious ceremonies. Gangavati experiences a surge of devotional activities, temporary pilgrimage facilities, and cultural gatherings during Pushkara. This festival holds immense spiritual value and positions the region as an important destination for river-based religious tourism.
