About Kartik Purnima

Kartik Purnima (Kartika Purnima) is the full Moon day of the month of Kartika, the last day of a month traditionally kept for early-morning baths, lamp offerings and prayer. It falls on Kartika Shukla Purnima, about a fortnight after Diwali, and is sacred to Shiva, who is remembered as Tripurari, and to Vishnu. In Varanasi the evening is celebrated as Dev Deepawali, the Diwali of the gods, when the ghats of the Ganga are lit with countless lamps.
