Karthika Pournami: The Full Moon of Divine Light and Blessings
Karthika Pournami, also called Tripurari Pournami, marks the full moon day of the Karthika month — one of the most auspicious times in the Hindu calendar. It holds deep spiritual significance for devotees of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and divine feminine energies. The festival represents the victory of light over darkness and divine wisdom over ignorance.
According to ancient scriptures, Karthika Pournami is when:
Lord Shiva destroyed the demon Tripurasura, liberating the three worlds — giving rise to the name Tripurari Pournami.
Lord Vishnu appeared as Matsya Avatar, saving creation from the cosmic flood.
Tulasi Devi, sacred to both deities, is worshipped with lamps and flowers. Lighting deepams (ghee lamps) on this day is believed to destroy sins and invite divine blessings.
Devotees celebrate this day with immense devotion by:
- Visiting Shiva or Vishnu temples
- Performing Abhishekam to a Shivalingam
- Lighting rows of ghee lamps around the home or Tulasi plant
- Observing fasting (upavasam) and offering naivedyam
- Performing Satyanarayana Swamy Vratham in the evening
- Donating food, clothes, or lamps as part of punya karma
- Lighting a single lamp with devotion on Karthika Pournami is said to dispel lifetimes of darkness.
