In Hinduism, the Purnima (full moon) date has great importance. Every month has one Purnima, and each carries its own meaning. Among them, the Kartik Purnima is regarded as the most special. On this day, Dev Deepawali is celebrated, and worship is offered to Lakshmi-Narayan and Lord Shiva at home. "In Vaishnava tradition Kartik month is known as Damodara month. Damodara is one of the names of Lord Krishna. In Hindu calendar, Kartik is the holiest month among all lunar months. Many people take pledge to take holy dip before sunrise in Ganges and other holy rivers every day during the month of Kartik. The ritual of holy dip during Kartik month begins on the day of Sharad Purnima and ends on Kartik Purnima," states Drik Panchang. This year, Kartik Purnima falls on 5th November 2025. "It is believed that Lord Shiva killed demon Tripurasura on the day of Kartik Purnima. Hence Kartik Purnima is also known as Tripuri Purnima and Tripurari Purnima," states Drik Panchang. It is believed that on this day, the deities descend to Earth to perform Deepdaan (the offering of earthen lamps) and bathe in the River Ganga. For this reason, the day is called Dev Deepawali. Meanwhile, followers of Sikhism celebrate it as the Festival of Lights (Prakash Parv).
