HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy will formally inaugurate the Saraswati Pushkaralu at Triveni Sangamam near Kaleshwaram in Bhupalpally district on Thursday. This will be the first celebration of the Saraswati Pushkaralu since the formation of Telangana state.
The Pushkaralu is observed when Jupiter enters the Gemini zodiac sign, which occurred at 10.35 pm on Wednesday. The chief minister is scheduled to inaugurate the Saraswati bathing ghat at 5.44 am and take a ceremonial dip.

Authorities have set up temporary tents and made other arrangements for pilgrims. Cultural programmes are planned for the evenings.
At Kaleshwaram, the Pranahita and Godavari rivers converge, with the Saraswati river considered an antarvahini (invisible river). Arrangements have been made at bathing ghats for rituals such as Pinda Pradanam. Around 50,000 devotees are expected to participate daily between May 15 and May 26.
Endowments Minister Konda Surekha released a poster by the Telangana Pollution Control Board on Wednesday to promote environmental awareness during the festival.
She highlighted the importance of avoiding single-use plastics, washing clothes in the river, and improper waste disposal to prevent pollution and related health issues. She also encouraged the use of public transport.
IT & Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu invited the public via social media to participate in the festival, describing it as both a spiritual and cultural gathering. His message included the hashtags #SaraswatiPushkaralu2025, #Kaleshwaram, #DSB, and #TelanganaPushkaralu.

June 04, 2025, Birthday Forecast: Discover what the next 12 months hold for you
Know What Numbers Whisper About Your Next 12 Months Happy Birthday! Your birth date has brought you here, so let us dive deep into what your numbers reveal for the upcoming 12 months. Personal Year For the next 12 months, you will be under the influence of Number 1, which is ruled by Surya Dev (the Sun). Let's explore what this powerful number brings into your life in the year ahead. Career & Finance For those born on June 4th, the year ahead brings thrilling momentum, especially in fields where communication, creativity, and adaptability are essential. Mercury's analytical and expressive influence will boost your Gemini energy, particularly starting in July. You'll find yourself drawn to projects involving writing, marketing, public speaking, research, or digital entrepreneurship. The first half of the year is ideal for skill-building, forming alliances, and defining long-term goals. By mid-year, these efforts may evolve into leadership opportunities, a new role, or the launch of a side hustle. However, your financial landscape may experience fluctuations due to variable income or impulsive spending habits. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Implementing a monthly budgeting system and diversifying your income streams will help maintain stability. Be cautious with major purchases or investments, especially in August and October. A well-organized financial plan can help transform your creativity into consistent income—particularly through digital platforms, content creation, or educational offerings. Relationships The next 12 months emphasize deeper connection, emotional presence, and authenticity in your relationships. If you're single, romance is on the horizon, but you'll need to prioritize quality over novelty. Your natural charm and intellectual curiosity will attract intriguing individuals, especially in social settings, learning environments, or online communities. Between August and November, a particular connection could evolve from casual to serious—or you may choose to walk away from someone who no longer aligns with your emotional needs. If you're already in a committed relationship, this is a powerful year for resolving misunderstandings and realigning with shared values and goals. Emotional honesty will be key—don't shy away from difficult conversations. Family matters, especially those involving a parent or sibling, may also require your attention. Friendships will shift too—you'll deepen ties with those who uplift you and distance yourself from draining or erratic relationships. Health Balance is the cornerstone of your health journey this year—between social engagement and solitude, physical activity and mental stimulation, ambition and rest. As someone who thrives on stimulation, burnout is a real risk unless you consciously slow down. Early in the year is ideal for establishing simple, consistent wellness routines. Prioritize cardiovascular activity—like walking, cycling, or dancing—to release mental tension. Mindfulness practices such as breathwork or guided meditation will help regulate your nervous system. From July to October, heightened activity or emotional stress may lead to tension headaches, sleep disturbances, or digestive issues. Cut back on stimulants like sugar and caffeine. Consider exploring holistic therapies such as energy healing, Ayurveda, or acupuncture. Don't neglect preventive health checkups, especially for your nervous system, lungs, and throat. Listen to the subtle signals your body sends. Travel Travel will play a transformative role in your life this year—both outwardly and inwardly. Your love for learning and exploration will take you on journeys that expand your worldview and challenge your perspective. From May to September, expect increased travel for professional reasons, including speaking engagements, training sessions, or collaborations. These trips could introduce you to new ideas, mentors, or markets, influencing your career direction. On a personal level, the most fulfilling journeys will involve spiritual retreats, nature immersion, or cultural exploration. Consider planning a solo trip or spiritual retreat in September or December to reset and recharge. If you've been contemplating a move or adopting a more flexible lifestyle, this is the year to take those first steps. However, during Mercury retrograde periods—April, August, and November—be extra cautious with logistics, as delays or rescheduling may occur. Ultimately, travel this year won't just change your scenery—it will shift your sense of self and your place in the world. You Share Your Birthday With Anil Ambani Priyamani S. P.
