Karthika Pournami: Celebrating the Full Moon & Its Spiritual Importance
How Karthika Pournami Influences Devotion and Community Celebrations in Hinduism:
Karthika Pournami, also known as Kartika Purnima, is a major Hindu festival observed on the full moon day of the Kartika month, which in 2025 falls on November 5th. It marks an auspicious time for devotees, characterized by spiritual bathing, lighting lamps, fasting, and special prayers centering on Shiva and Vishnu.
Significance and Rituals
- Karthika Pournami holds deep importance in Hinduism, Sikhism, and Jainism, and is referred to as Deva-Deepavali or Tripurari Purnima in some regions.
- Religious rituals include sacred river or sea baths (known as Kartika snana), lighting oil lamps (deepams) with 365 wicks, and worship of Shiva and Vishnu at temples or homes.
- Devotees read Kartika Purana and maintain fasts; acts of charity and donations are especially encouraged on this day.
- The festival is also celebrated as the birthday of Kartikeya in Southern India, and is linked to various legends such as the manifestation of Vishnu's Matsya avatar and the story of Tulasi.
Regional Customs
- In Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu, devotees light rows of lamps, sometimes under tulasi and amla trees, and in temples for Shiva.
- In Odisha, Karthika Pournami is celebrated as Boita Bandana to commemorate ancient maritime history, when miniature boats are floated in water bodies as offerings.
- On this day, custom dictates that violence, haircutting, and even plucking flowers and fruits should be avoided.
Key Timings for 2025
- The Purnima tithi for Karthika Pournami begins late night on November 4th and lasts until the evening of November 5th.
- River or sea bath is recommended between 4:52 am and 5:44 am on November 5th, while auspicious times for prayers and deepam lighting are in the morning and evening.
Essence of the Festival
Karthika Pournami is celebrated with devotion, community spirit, and acts of piety. It signifies victory of good over evil, enlightenment, and gratitude. The festival symbolically ends the Kartika month, which is observed as a highly holy period by many Hindu communities.
