Kartika Purnima · Deity: Shiva (Tripurari) / Vishnu
Tuesday, November 24, 2026
Panchang that morning (IST): Shukla Purnima tithi · Krittika pada 1 · Moon in Aries
The full moon of Kartika closes the festival season — the gods’ own Diwali (Dev Deepawali), when Varanasi’s ghats hold a million lamps for Shiva’s victory over Tripurasura. It is also Guru Nanak Jayanti, making the day sacred across two traditions.
A holy bath (Kartik Snan) at dawn, deep-daan — the gift of lamps set afloat on water — and Tulsi Vivah celebrations that reopen the wedding season.
A floating lamp on any local water at dusk carries the Dev Deepawali form; Gurdwaras worldwide hold Guru Nanak Jayanti programs the same day.
