When the planets have reached their maximum alignment, the gathering begins at the banks of the holy Ganges, Yumuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers. Jupiter enters Aries at this special time when the bubbling waters of the underground Saraswati River can also be seen merging with the blue waters of the Ganges and the green Yumuna River.
