Kartik Poornima (Kartikai Deepam as it is called in Tamil) is very important for us too. This festival is marked by lighting of lamps (usually earthen- these days, electric) in front of the houses. In fact, we don't light diyas during Diwali (don't ask then why we call it Deepavali 😃) - we light them on Kartik Poornima.

It is celebrated on a huge scale at Tiruvannamalai- a place near Chennai where Shiva is said to manifested himself in form of a pillar of light.

Those planning a pilgrimage to Shabarimala begin their 40- day vrat from this month.

Infact many have the habbit of lighting Lamp at the same time when its being lighten up in Thiruvannamalai😳 Like here

The festival of Bada Osha is primarily celebrated at the temple of Lord Mahadeva- Dhabaleswar. The temple is situated on an island in the river Mahanadi. The temple is located very close to the city of Cuttack, nearly 3kms. Although the temple is always occupied by devotees, but on the Festival of Bada Osha, lakhs of tourists and devotees throng the place of worship to offer prayers.
