Kartika Purnima 2020: Kartika Purnima is an auspicious occasion celebrated on the Purnima of Kartik. The observance is also called Deva-Diwali or Deva-Deepawali.
Kartik Purnima is one of the most significant days in the Hindu calendar. On this full moon day, Lord Shiva took the form of Tripurari to eliminate a trio of demon brothers known as Tripurasura. And it was on this day that the Matsya Avatar (first of the ten main avatars) of Lord Vishnu came into being. The Kartik Purnima festivities concur with Dev Diwali and Karthigai Deepam celebrations.
It is called Yripuri Purnimal marking the killing of demon Tripurasura by Lord Shiva. The day is also marked as the birthday of Matsya, the fish-incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The same festival is also known as Dev Deepavali in some regions during which people float lamps in River Ganges as a customary practice. The observance has various mythological stories attached to it.
