Krishna Pushkaran
The major festival Krishna Pushkaran takes place every 12 years in Vijayawada and is held on the banks of the river. People come from far and near to be a part of this event and take a dip in the river as it is believed that all their sins will be washed away. There is an air of festivity at this time and many cultural programmes are put up with stalls selling food, jewellery etc.
