Significance

In Hinduism, the Narmada River carries deep spiritual significance, revered as sanctified by the divine essence of Lord Shiva. The Narmada Pushkaralu signifies a sacred interval during which the river is venerated fervently, providing devotees a chance to absolve their transgressions and accrue spiritual blessings through ceremonial bathing in its hallowed currents. It is held that during this period, the river becomes imbued with celestial energy, amplifying the efficacy of every ritual and homage offered.
