On the fifteenth day of Kartik month, the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain groups celebrate Kartik Purnima. Deva Deepavali, or the festival of lights for the deity, is another name for it.

Kartik Purnima, which is observed on a full moon day, is said to also signal the end of the four-month period during which Lord Vishnu remains dormant. To get the blessings of the universe’s guardian, Lord Vishnu, people adore him. In order to maximize this fortunate period, individuals also prefer to fast, pray, and meditate during this time. Kartik Purnima’s auspicious time starts at 6:31 am on November 15 and ends at 3:02 am on November 16.

Additionally, two well-known customs that people observe on Kartik Purnima are Ganga snan and deep daan. Are you curious about the meaning behind these customs? We’ll let you know.
Ganga Snan’s Importance on Kartika Purnima

People like bathing in the sacred Ganga River on Karthik Purnima in order to feel good and purify themselves. Bathing in the holy river is said to help individuals become more spiritual and wash away some of their sins. People often go to the cities of Varanasi, Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Rishikesh to take the holy bath. To start the day off well, many attempt to take a bath early in the morning.

Deep Daan’s Importance on Kartika Purnima

The act of lighting oil lamps is known as deep daan. To wish darkness out of their lives and welcome light in the form of wisdom and knowledge, people light diyas on Karthik Purnima with love and optimism. In order to impart joy and optimism, people often like lighting diyas on the banks of sacred rivers, temples, or their lovely homes.
