It is believed that taking a holy dip and performing good deeds on this day helps in washing away sins and bringing peace and prosperity.

Significance of the Day

Kartik Purnima is also celebrated as Dev Deepawali, especially in Varanasi (Kashi). It is believed that on this day, all gods descend to the ghats of Kashi to celebrate Diwali. Devotees worship Lord Vishnu in the form of Lakshmi-Narayan and seek blessings for prosperity and good fortune.

Taking a holy dip before sunrise and donating food, clothes, or oil lamps is considered highly auspicious. Some people also observe a fast, taking only fruits or water after praying to Lord Ganesha. Many families perform Satyanarayan Katha and light five diyas in the corners of their house to invite positive energy.

In essence, Kartik Purnima is a festival of light, purity, and devotion — a day to cleanse one’s mind and soul while spreading kindness and faith.
