The site is a major hub during the Godavari Pushkaram, a river festival held once every 12 years.
The ghat is situated along the banks of the Godavari, one of the longest rivers in India.
The fountain area was significantly upgraded during the 2015 Pushkaram developments to improve infrastructure for large crowds.
The Pushkar Ghat Fountain serves as a central landmark within the expansive Pushkar Ghat complex along the Godavari River in Rajamahendravaram. It functions as a prominent focal point for pilgrims visiting the riverbank, particularly during the Godavari Pushkaram festival. The structure features a water installation set against the backdrop of the river's vast expanse. Its location provides a viewing area for the daily river currents and the surrounding ghat architecture. The site is a popular gathering point for locals and tourists during the evening hours.
