About Karthika Deepam Puja
Karthika Masam (month of Karthika) is the holiest month in Shaiva tradition. Every evening during this month, devotees light lamps for Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. The month concludes with the grand Karthika Purnima (also called Karthika Deepam) · a night of thousand lamps. A unique feature of Karthika is that both Shiva and Vishnu are worshipped equally, along with Tulasi (sacred basil) and the Amla (gooseberry) tree. In Bangalore, families light diyas in their puja room, courtyards, and doorways throughout the month.
When to Perform
Throughout Karthika month (Kartik month · October to November), especially on Mondays (Shiva), Ekadashi (Vishnu), and Karthika Purnima (full moon) for the grandest celebration.
