Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s Friday powwow in Amaravati peeled back layers on the colossal Godavari Pushkaralu preparations for 2027—a 12-day divine immersion from June 26 to July 7 enveloping Polavaram, Eluru, East and West Godavari, Ambedkar Konaseema, and Kakinada. With 10 crore faithful projected to flock from afar, the stakes are sky-high.
Post-priestly invocations, Naidu beamed about his triple stewardship of this milestone. Infrastructure leaps forward with 373 ghats planned (adding 139 to 234 existing), spanning 9,918 meters. He mandated Polavaram’s timely finish and exhorted unified departmental efforts for a Kumbh-caliber show.
Ministers Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Anita Narayan, Nimmala Ramanaidu, Vasamsetti Subhash, Kandula Durgesh, BC Janardhan Reddy joined Chief Secretary Viyayanand and DGP Harish Kumar Gupta. Minister Ramanaidu wove in Vedic lore: Pushkaralu’s baths confer punya akin to 12 rivers over 12 years, venerating Godavari as the hallowed Dakshina Ganga.
The alliance government’s blueprint prioritizes precision planning, cultural reverence, and crowd management. This confluence of faith and foresight promises not just a festival, but a legacy event redefining spiritual tourism in India.
