Kartik Purnima
Festival
Kartik Purnima is a significant Hindu festival observed on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Kartik month in the Hindu calendar. It is considered highly auspicious for religious activities, including taking holy baths in sacred rivers, performing charity, and lighting lamps. Kartik Purnima is also associated with the victory of Lord Shiva over the demon Tripurasura, leading to its alternate name, Tripuri Purnima. The day is also celebrated as Deva Diwali, the "Diwali of the Gods." The festival holds spiritual significance for Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs, as it coincides with Guru Nanak Jayanti in some years.
