Explanation

The Pushkar Kumbh Mela 2025 (also known as the Saraswati Pushkaram) was held from May 15 to May 26, 2025, in Uttarakhand. The primary venue for the festival was Keshav Prayag in Mana village (Chamoli district), which is the sacred confluence of the Alaknanda and Saraswati rivers. This event occurs once every 12 years when Jupiter enters the Gemini (Mithuna) zodiac sign. It returned to Uttarakhand after a 12-year hiatus, having last been held there in 2013.

While Pushkar in Rajasthan is famous for its annual camel fair and Brahma temple, the specific "Pushkar Kumbh" or "Pushkaram" cycle for the Saraswati river in May 2025 was celebrated in Uttarakhand. Uttar Pradesh hosted the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj earlier in January–February 2025, which is a separate event. Therefore, only statement 3 is correct.
