The festival of Kartik Purnima is celebrated with great fervour and zeal all across India, irrespective of the religious inclinations. Hindus believe it to be auspicious to perform a ‘Snan’ (bathing ritual) and worship their Gods and Goddesses. Kartik Purnima is also celebrated as ‘Dev Deepavali’ that is the Diwali for Gods and Goddesses. Kartik Purnima bath is taken on Kartik Purnima falling at sun rise. If Kartik Purnima falls on two days and falls or does not fall at Sun Rise then it is celebrated on the first day.On this day the observer should worship the 6 Kruthikas, Shiva, Sambhuti, Santati etc at time of moonrise.
