Godavari Harathi

Dec 4, 2014 • 6 min read

"The hydrologic cycle describes the pilgrimage of water as water molecules make their way from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere, and back again." NASA has called it a 'pilgrimage'. I had the good fortune to make a pilgrimage myself, to attend a pilgrimage by the people on the bank of river Godavari, at Rajahmundry, in Andhra Pradesh. 'Godavari Harathi Utsav' (homage to Godavari) was a puja utsav attended by pilgrims from all over Andhra and Telanagana, to honour the pilgrimage made by the goddess Godavari.
